Simonis is a station on the Brussels Metro serving lines 2 and 6 via two different levels. It opened on 6 October 1982 and is situated at the end of Boulevard Léopold II. It is close to Elizabeth Park and the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. The station was named after the Belgian sculptor Eugène Simonis. The station is also served by buses, a tram and the Belgian national railway.

Since December 2009, Simonis is served by the National Railway Company of Belgium's local commuter rail services on line 28.

The opening of the line forms part of the ongoing effort to develop the Brussels Regional Express Network.
