Borgen is a station shared by the Røa Line (line 2) and the Kolsås Line (line 6) on the Oslo T-bane system. The station is between Majorstuen and Smestad, and 3.8 km from the central station Stortinget.

The station is located on a stretch where the line runs alongside Sørkedalsveien. To the south of the station is the large cemetery Vestre gravlund.

The station was opened on November 17 1912 as part of a branch line to Holmenkollbanen which went to Smestad and was later extended. There were originally four stations on this line, but only Borgen and Smestad remain. The two stations which originally neighbored Borgen, Volvat in the east and Heggeli in the west, are both closed.
