Porte de Vanves (French pronunciation: [pɔʁt vɑ̃v]) is a station on Line 13 of the Paris Métro and a stop on tramway Line 3a in the 14th arrondissement.

It is named after the Porte de Vanves, a gate in the 19th century Thiers wall of Paris. Contrary to what its name suggests, it gave access to the commune of Malakoff – the commune of Vanves is instead accessible by Porte Brancion located 250 metres west.
