The Bukit Bintang MRT station, or otherwise due to sponsorship reasons, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur - Bukit Bintang MRT station (working name: Bukit Bintang Sentral station) is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) underground station in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Construction started around 2012 and opened on 17 July 2017. It serves as one of the stations on Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (KVMRT) Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line. 5 walkways and entrances connect iconic buildings and malls in the Bukit Bintang locality, including Pavilion KL, Starhill Gallery and Fahrenheit 88 shopping malls. The main theme of the MRT station is Dynamic Pulse of Colour.

This MRT station, despite its name, is not integrated and not to be confused with the separate Bukit Bintang monorail station, which is serviced by the KL Monorail line instead. Paid zone-to-paid zone integration was once proposed but not constructed at the moment.

According to earlier plans, there were meant to be two stations in Bukit Bintang, namely Bukit Bintang West and Bukit Bintang East (or Bukit Bintang 1 and Bukit Bintang 2), but was later reduced to only one Bukit Bintang station after public display and feedback. This was reflected in the stations rather odd numbering  SBK18A .

The construction of the MRT station started around 2012 and ended around mid-2017. It was opened on 17 July 2017 as part of Phase 2 of the Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line.

The station naming rights are acquired by Pavilion Kuala Lumpur that owns the Pavilion Kuala Lumpur shopping center, a high-end and high-street shopping mall, situated in the vicinity of the station located east of the station. The nearby monorail station has a different branding however (AIRASIA-Bukit Bintang).
