Guanzhuang Station (Chinese: 关庄; pinyin: guānzhuāng) is a station on Line 15 of the Beijing Subway. It was opened on December 28, 2014.

This station has the same English name as a station on the Batong Line, also part of the Beijing Subway system. In Chinese this is not a problem as the station on Line 15 is called 关庄 and one on the Batong Line is called 管庄, but the government policy in China is to create English names from the pinyin transliteration of Chinese language, but without the tone markers; thus 关庄 (guānzhuāng) and 管庄 (guǎnzhuāng) are both rendered as guanzhuang, making them look identical.
