Bobigny–Pantin–Raymond Queneau (French pronunciation: [bɔbiɲi pɑ̃tɛ̃ ʁɛmɔ̃ kəno]) is a station on line 5 of the Paris Métro, located on the border between the communes of Pantin and Bobigny, in Seine-Saint-Denis, Île-de-France. It is named after the communes of Bobigny and Pantin, as well as the nearby rue Raymond Queneau, named after Raymond Queneau (1903-1976), a 20th-century French author and member of the Oulipo group whose most famous works were Zazie dans le métro and Exercices de style, set on a bus. Despite its name, the station serves mainly Pantin (district of Petit-Pantin) and Romainville (district of the Bas-Pays). It only serves a thin industrial fringe in Bobigny.

The station opened on 25 April 1985 with the extension of the line from Église de Pantin to Bobigny–Pablo Picasso.

In 2024, it will be served by line 3 of the T Zen network, a bus rapid transit system.[1] It was originally slated to open 2018,[2] then postponed to the end of 2022,[3] then again to 2024.

In 2019, the station was used by 2,951,030 passengers, making it the 178th busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.[4]

In 2020, the station was used by 1,726,493 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 143rd busiest of the Métro network out of 305 stations.[5]

In 2021, the station was used by 2,335,465 passengers, making it the 144th busiest of the Métro network out of 305 stations.[6]
