Canberra MRT station is an elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the North–South line, located along Canberra Link at the junction with Canberra Way in Sembawang, Singapore. It is the second infill station on the MRT network (after Dover MRT station), and the first in Singapore with a platform linked directly to an overhead bridge at the same level. With several green features included in the station during construction, it was also the first MRT station to be awarded Platinum for the Building and Construction Authority's Green Mark for Transit Stations, as a result of the construction team's efforts to integrate landscaping and using eco-friendly materials in the construction of the station.
An infill station between the Sembawang and Yishun MRT stations was included a part of the 2013 Land Transport Master Plan. Following feasibility studies by the Land Transport Authority (LTA), construction of the station started in April 2015. Canberra station opened on 2 November 2019, with the mall opposite the station, Canberra Plaza, opening on 18 December 2020.
