Waterloo is a Charleroi Metro station, located at the northern end of Charleroi downtown, in fare zone 1.

The station has 3 street entrances (two on each side of the Jules Hénin Avenue, one on the Jules Hiérnaux Square), leading to the lowest level. Platforms are located on the upper level and are accessible through escalators and stairs.

The station has one lateral platform which is currently not used (and not connected to any tram tracks). All current lines use a central platform. Waterloo is also the starting point of the built but unused Centenaire line.

Starting from Waterloo is a short track section running to the North and surfacing north of the Jules Hiérnaux Square, which would have been the starting point of pre-metro lines to Lodelinsart and Gosselies on one side, and Ransart and Heppignies on the other side.

On the initial project plan for the Charleroi Pre-metro, the Waterloo station was called Nord (French for North).

TEC Charleroi bus lines 4, 37, 71, 74, 722 and City-Bus.
