Kwun Tong (Chinese:觀塘;Cantonese Yale:Gūntòhng) is astation on theMTRKwun Tong line in Hong Kong. The station opened on 1 October 1979 as the easternterminus of the first phase of theKwun Tong line until the Eastern Harbour Crossing toQuarry Bay opened on 6 August 1989. It is located in theKwun Tong area, betweenLam Tin andNgau Tau Kok stations.

The station is elevated and open-air, unlike almost every other station on the line. Only Ngau Tau Kok andKowloon Bay stations are like this. Due to difficulties in installingplatform screen doors (PSDs) in above ground stations, the MTR decided not to install PSDs in this station, instead installingautomatic platform gates (APGs) on the station's platforms in 2011.

A shopping centre and office tower, namedapm Millennium City 5, are connected to the station. Beneath the station building is a road tunnel which diverts traffic alongKwun Tong Road from the roundabout around the station.

The construction of the station under Contract 212 was awarded to Far East/Coignet joint venture.^[1]

Kwun Tong station was opened when theKwun Tong line was opened on 1 October 1979, and act as the terminus of the system, until Kwun Tong line was extended to Quarry Bay on 6 August 1989.

Platforms 1 and 2 share the same island platform, and it is curved, so the gap is large. Before Lam Tin station was opened, platform 1 was also used for departing westbound trains. After midnight, platform 1 is the termination platform of the Kwun Tong line, so trains can return to Kowloon Bay Depot. Before 07:01, platform 2 is the boarding platform of the Kwun Tong line after trains depart from Kowloon Bay Depot.
