The Bukit Bintang station (working name: Bukit Bintang Sentral station) is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) underground station under construction in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Construction started around 2012 and is scheduled to complete around July 2017. It serves as one of the stations on Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (KVMRT) Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line. There will be 5 walkways and entrances that will be built to connect some iconic building in the region including Pavilion KL, Starhill Gallery and Fahrenheit 88 shopping malls. The main theme of the station is Dynamic Pulse of Colour.

The station will only be connected to the station to the AirAsia-Bukit Bintang Monorail station located right beside the station, and not by paid area-to-paid area transfer, due to the lack of space, although it might be proposed and constructed in the future. Those transferring from the MRT station to the monorail station will have to walk along the Yayasan Selangor building, although it is only a stone's throw away.

Bukit Bintang MRT station is unique in a sense that it is the only station with split platforms, which means the platforms are stacked one on the other: one for Sungai Buloh-bound trains and one for Kajang-bound trains.

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 .
