Kent Ridge MRT Station (CC24) is an underground station along the Circle Line (CCL). It is built next to the National University Hospital, and near the junction of Lower Kent Ridge Road and South Buona Vista Road.
The station takes its name from the surrounding area, formerly known as Pasir Panjang Ridge but renamed Kent Ridge to commemorate a visit by the Duke and Dutchess of Kent. Despite sharing the Kent Ridge naming with Kent Ridge Bus Terminal, the two public transport facilities are located far apart and do not connect with each other.
Apart from the hospital complex, Kent Ridge station serves the sprawling National University of Singapore campus, along with Singapore Science Park 1 and Kent Ridge Park.
The station will also serve as an interchange station with the Jurong Region Line as part of the West Coast Extension by the early 2040s.
