'''Jurong East MRT station''' is an elevated [[Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore)|Mass Rapid Transit]] (MRT) interchange station on the [[North–South MRT line|North–South]] (NSL)  and [[East–West MRT line|East–West]] (EWL) lines in [[Jurong East]], [[Singapore]]. Situated along Jurong Gateway Road, the station is located within the vicinity of [[Jem, Singapore|Jem]], [[Westgate (Singapore)|Westgate]], [[IMM (Singapore)|IMM]], [[Ng Teng Fong General Hospital]], [[Jurong East Bus Interchange]] and [[Jurong Town Hall Bus Interchange]]. The station is operated by [[SMRT Trains]].

The station opened on 5 November 1988 as part of the MRT extension to Lakeside. The station was the terminus of the [[Branch MRT line|Branch line]] which later merged into the NSL. Through the Jurong East Modification Project, an additional track and platform were built in 2011 to improve train frequencies on the NSL. In May 2018, it was announced that the station would be an interchange with the [[Jurong Region MRT line|Jurong Region Line]] when the second stage opens in 2028. The station is planned to be integrated into the Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub – an integrated civic, retail and commercial complex.
