Place Monge is a station of the Paris Métro. It is named after Gaspard Monge (1746–1818), a French mathematician and inventor of descriptive geometry.

The station is located under Place Monge, in the 5th arrondissement, in the eastern part of the Latin Quarter. Although close to the bustle of nearby restaurants and the lively street market of the Rue Mouffetard, Place Monge is in general fairly calm, apart from its scheduled food market.

On one side of the square lies the entrance of a Republican Guard barracks.
