Chauburji (Punjabi and Urdu: چو برجی, "Four Towers") is a rapid transit station serving the Orange Line of the Lahore Metro in Lahore, Pakistan. It is near the Chauburji monument.

In August 2016, the Court halted construction of the metro within 200 feet of any heritage site, including Chauburji in order to prevent what UNESCO termed as potentially "irreversible damage", were the line to be constructed in its present form.[1] The Chauburji station was originally planned to be underground, but it was changed to an elevated station to comply with the UNESCO regulations.
The Chauburji station was opened after the inauguration of the Orange Line on 25 October 2020.[2][3]
