Bukit Bintang (or AIRASIA-Bukit Bintang for sponsorship reasons) is an elevated monorail train station located in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur. Part of the KL Monorail line, it opened alongside the rest of the train service on August 31, 2003.

Formerly known as the Bukit Bintang station since its opening on 2003, the station was renamed to AIRASIA-Bukit Bintang on 9 October 2015 after Malaysian low-cost airline AirAsia was given naming rights under the rail operator Prasarana Malaysia's Station Naming Rights Programme.

The bus stops located at street level and routes list as below;

The station is situated at Bukit Bintang (translated from Malay to English as "Starhill"), a shopping hub in the Kuala Lumpur Golden Triangle commercial district. Erected over Jalan Sultan Ismail, the station is located directly south from the Jalan Sultan Ismail - Jalan Bukit Bintang intersection.

The station has three exits: The northwest exit leads to the west side of Jalan Sultan Ismail, while the southwest and southeast exists directly lead into the BB Plaza and Lot 10 shopping centres, respectively, via pedestrian bridges. Similar to the nearby Imbi station, the Bukit Bintang station is also directly within walking distance from various other shopping centres (including the Starhill Gallery, Low Yat Plaza, Pavilion, Farrenheit 88, Lot10, Imbi Plaza and Sungei Wang Plaza).

Due to its proximity to Bukit Bintang, the monorail station receives a high volume of passengers during peak hours and non-working days. The station is also the only Kuala Lumpur Monorail to include an overhead link bridge that directly connects its two train platforms. The station's length is also longer in comparison with certain KL Monorail stations.
