Besserud is a station on the Holmenkollen Line (Line 1) on the Oslo Metro, between Midtstuen and Holmenkollen.
The station was opened as Holmenkollen as the terminus of the Holmenkollen on 31 May 1889. When the line was extended to Frognerseteren on 16 May 1916 the station got its current name. The architect for the wooden station building was Paul Due.
