Chan Sow Lin LRT station is an at-grade rapid transit station and interchange station situated in Pudu, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The station serves as an interchange station for Sri Petaling Line and Ampang Line, formerly known as STAR. Previously, the station was a part of the common route shared by both the Ampang Line (Sentul Timur-Chan Sow Lin-Ampang) and Sri Petaling Line (Sentul Timur-Chan Sow Lin-Sri Petaling). Beginning from July 2016 and with the completion of the LRT extension, the station is designated as the only interchange station between both lines for the new mode of operation. The station is the southernmost station for the Ampang Line. The station was opened on December 16, 1996, as part of the first phase of the STAR system's opening, alongside 13 adjoining stations along the Sultan Ismail-Ampang route.

In the future, it will be integrated by MRT Sungai Buloh Serdang Putrajaya Line

Chan Sow Lin interchange is located on the southern edge of the incorporated town of Pudu, serving the locality alongside Pudu station and Hang Tuah station. The station was thus intended to serve patrons from the southern end of Pudu, the western end of Taman Maluri and the northwestern tip of Taman Miharja. The latter two localities also have their own namesake stations towards the south and east: Miharja station and Maluri station. The interchange itself is named after an extended portion of Jalan Chan Sow Lin, a roadway that adjoins the main entrance of the station. The road was named after Chan Sow Lin (陳秀連), 1845-1927, a wealthy businessman in the iron works industry. This man was also known then as The father of Chinese iron works in Malaya.
