Sèvres-Babylone is a station of the Paris Métro. It is located at the intersection of Blvd. Raspail and Rue de Sèvres, in the 6th arrondissement on the border with 7th, near le Bon Marché department store.

The station opened in 1910, and is named for its location at the intersection of two streets: the rue de Sèvres which in medieval times ran from Paris to Sèvres, and the rue de Babylone. In its earliest days, line 10 (operated by the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris) was named "Babylon", and line 12 (operated by the Société du chemin de fer électrique souterrain Nord-Sud de Paris) was named "Sèvres". After the city forced the two companies to form a common station, the sign for line 10 read Sèvres-Babylone (emphasizing "Babylone"), and that of line 12 by contrast read Sèvres-Babylone (emphasizing "Sèvres").
