Boon Keng MRT Station (NE9) is located on the North East Line on the Mass Rapid Transit system in Kallang, Singapore. It is located at the traffic junction of Boon Keng Road, Towner Road and Serangoon Road, near the Whampoa River.

A part of the Bendemeer Shopping Mall had to be demolished to make way for the construction of this station. The remaining portion of the building continues to be used for retail purposes today.
