Petir MRT station is a working name for an underground Mass Rapid Transit station on the Downtown Line Stage 2 in Singapore, formerly known as the Bukit Timah Line. The station is the terminal station of the line, with the line continuing northwards as a service route to the Gali Batu Depot.

Although located between the Bukit Panjang and Ten Mile Junction LRT Stations, it is not physically connected to either and is thus not an interchange station. It is also not significantly close to the Petir LRT Station despite similar names used. [cite web|url=http://www.lta.gov.sg/images/20080715-DTL2.pdf|title=Alignment of DTL and DTL 2 and maps of DTL 2 stations|publisher=Land Transport Authority|accessdate=2008-07-16] The decision caused local MPs to request for a review, but was rejected by the LTA saying that it would be a "technical constraint" to force the line to curve sharply within a short distance to allow for a normal interchange station to be built. However, it added that a covered linkway would be built between Petir MRT Station and Bukit Panjang LRT Station, and hinted that there may be new developments on the reserve site between the two stations.
