Phoenix LRT station (BP5) is an LRT station on the Bukit Panjang LRT Line in Singapore.

An LRT train with 20 passengers crashed into an empty one at Phoenix station on 19 November 2000 after an operations officer failed to do a manual check of the lines before restarting the network system. The impact threw seated and standing passengers to the floor of the train, injuring five of them. The service was disrupted for seven hours but it was restored in stages and was fully functional again by 2.30 pm the same day. Then Communications and Information Technology Minister Yeo Cheow Tong visited the site soon after being told of the accident.

In 2010, an LRT technician died of injuries sustained after being hit by a train at Phoenix Station. Mr Chia Teck Heng was checking the power rail between Phoenix and Bukit Panjang stations.

The name is derived from Phoenix Heights, a name for a cluster of private low rise houses along one side of the station. Another side consist of high rise HDB flats.

As of February 2017, phoenix station has Half-Height Platform Barriers installed at both platforms of the station.
