Montmorency station is a Montreal Metro station in Laval, Quebec, Canada. It is operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and serves the Orange Line. It is located in the Laval-des-Rapides. The station is part of an extension to Laval and opened on April 28, 2007, becoming the northern terminus of the Orange Line. With the addition of the new stations, the Metro now generates an extra 60,000 daily passengers. As of 2010, 1,050,000 daily passengers use the Metro.

It is a normal side platform station. This station has the highest ceilings of any station in the network. The wall panels are decorated with tiling in diagonal stripes of retro shades of cyan, navy, straw yellow and brick red.

The station is equipped with the MétroVision information screens which displays news, commercials, and the waiting time until the arrival of the next train.

The station is located across the street from Cégep Montmorency. The CEGEP got its name from François de Montmorency-Laval (1623–1703), the first bishop of Quebec and New France from 1674 to 1688.

A large bus terminal with 10 platforms and an indoor waiting area adjoins the station. The building, which is owned by the AMT features an AMT ticket counter as well as a convenience store and a coffee shop. In addition, the station has parking for 1342 cars — 644 free outdoor park and ride spaces and 698 paying spaces (54 outdoor, 644 indoor). The indoor spaces cost $7 a day or $80 per month (if a user purchases a monthly parking pass). All bus traffic enters and leaves on Boulevard de l'Avenir.
