Canberra MRT Station (NS12) is a future above-ground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the North South Line in Sembawang, Singapore.

On 27 June 2014, Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew announced that the feasibility studies was completed and Canberra station will be built.
On 1 August 2014, LTA announced that construction will commence in mid-2015 and is expected to be completed in 2019.
On 27 April 2015, LTA announced that construction will start soon, with the China State Construction Engineering Corporation (Singapore) awarded the contract for $90 million.
Official works began on 26 March 2016, with assurance of a more stringent work safety measures to be taken throughout the construction period. It is also announced that a 72 metre long rail crossover track will be constructed north of Canberra Station to connect two existing tracks.
