Location
Ho Man Tin Location within the MTR system

Ho Man Tin (Chinese: 何文田; Cantonese Yale: Hòmàntìn) is an underground MTR rapid transit station on the Kwun Tong Line. Located beneath Valley Road in Ho Man Tin, it will become an interchange station for the East West Corridor as part of the Sha Tin to Central Link project, which is under construction. The station's lower platforms (serving Kwun Tong Line trains) opened on 23 October 2016 along with Whampoa Station as part of the Kwun Tong Line Extension, but the upper platforms will remain closed and boarded up until the completion of the East West Corridor.

The station is located at the extreme south of Ho Man Tin. Walking to the central part of Ho Man Tin from this station would take approximately 15–20 minutes. Some citizens thought that the MTR has used the wrong name. They thought that Lo Lung Hang should be used. However, the MTR remained using Ho Man Tin as the station name because not many people know where Lo Lung Hang is located.

The station is located between Chung Hau Street and Chatham Road North. While the East West Corridor platforms are boarded up, they are used as a passageway between the concourse and the Kwun Tong Line platforms.

During peak hours, some westbound Kwun Tong Line trains terminate at platform 2 and proceed eastbound past the scissors crossover to a reversing siding. The remaining trains continue to Whampoa Station, the next station westbound as well as the line's western terminus. This arrangement exists due to the limited capacity of the single terminating track at Whampoa, which cannot turn all of the Kwun Tong Line's trains during rush hours.
