Woodleigh MRT Station (NE11) is an underground station along the North East Line (NEL). The station sits underneath Upper Serangoon Road, at the junction with Upper Aljunied Road and Youngberg Terrace.

The station is one of two completed MRT stations that remained closed when the NEL opened on 20th June 2003, the other being Buangkok. With insufficient commuter traffic to justify the opening of the station, it remained closed until 20th June 2011, when it was opened to support the then-new Stamford American International School and developing residential apartments in the vicinity, coinciding with the North East Line’s 8th anniversary. The station now also supports the new Bidadari housing estate in the vicinity.
