Chinese Garden MRT station is an elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the East–West line (EWL) in Jurong East, Singapore. Operated by SMRT Trains, the station serves the eponymous Chinese Garden and the Yuhua residential estate. Other nearby landmarks include Jurong Primary School and Fuhua Secondary School.

First announced in May 1982 as Jurong Lake station, it was to be constructed as part of Phase II of the MRT system. The name was later changed in 1984 to better reflect its location. It commenced operations on 5 November 1988 along with the other stations of Phase II. When it opened, the station lacked direct access to Chinese Garden despite being next to it, as well as to the opposite side of the road where most of its commuters lived. Both issues were fixed within a few years. Accessibility enhancements were completed in July 2011 as well as additional bicycle parking facilities in October 2012. Half-height platform screen doors and high-volume low-speed fans were installed by August 2011 and the first quarter of 2013, respectively.

As a feature of the station, the curved roof supported by decorative red and green beams took inspiration from traditional Chinese architecture. Additionally, there are four paintings created by students from the Yuan Ching Secondary School that feature traditional Chinese cultural icons, which are displayed at the ticketing concourse as part of SMRT's Community Outreach Programme.
