Kwu Tung (Chinese: 古洞站) is a proposed station on the Lok Ma Chau Spur Line (a branch of the East Rail Line) of the MTR rapid transit network in Hong Kong. It is proposed to be situated near Kwu Tung in North District, New Territories.
The station is now still a proposed station; however, there is an area left underground for the future Kwu Tung Station, as the Hong Kong Government's investigation found that 689 hectares of land in the Kwu Tung–Fanling area is suitable for development of a new town. Because of this, the station may well be developed in the future, so there must be an area left for the future station.
