Kamppi metro station (Finnish: Kampin metroasema; Swedish: Kampens metrostation) is a station on the Helsinki Metro. In addition to serving the area around Kamppi in central Helsinki, the station is integrated with the Kamppi Center bus terminal and shopping complex. Kamppi is served by both lines M1 and M2. The street address is Kampinkuja 1. The station is located 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) from the Ruoholahti metro station, and 0.5 kilometres (0.31 mi) from the Central Railway Station.

The station is the deepest of the Helsinki Metro stations, at a depth of 31 metres (102 ft) below ground level and 15 metres (49 ft) below sea level. Like other underground metro stations in Helsinki, Kamppi metro station was designed to also serve as a bomb shelter.

The Kamppi metro station is the second busiest metro station in the Helsinki Metro after the Rautatientori metro station. In 2023 the Kamppi metro station was visited by about 45,700 passengers per day on weekdays.

A new eastern entrance with its own ticket hall, connecting directly to Kamppi Center, was opened on 2 June 2005. Both the original entrance and the new entrance have three sets of escalators and elevators to the station platform. Normally one set of escalators is going down and the other two up. The station platform is located between the tracks and is currently almost continuous between the exits.

Until 1993 the station served as the western terminus of the metro line. When the metro reached Ruoholahti, the turning track at Kamppi had to be changed. The turning track was taken into use in 2016 when the metro started trafficking at 2.5-minute intervals and all trains could not turn around at Ruoholahti.

The old western entrance to the station was closed down in December 2023. Currently the only entrance and exit in the Kamppi metro station is located in the Kamppi Center.
