North Point () serves as a station on Hong Kong's MTR network and acts as the western endpoint of the , situated within the North Point area on Hong Kong Island. The station is distinguished by its tomato orange color scheme and provides a cross-platform interchange connecting the Island line and Tseung Kwan O line. It holds the distinction of being the northernmost stop along the Island line.
Island line
The construction of the station concourse was undertaken by Leighton Contractors (Asia), while Paul Y. Engineering was responsible for building the tunnels and platforms. The station commenced operations on 31 May 1985, coinciding with the completion of the Island line. Up until 2001, it featured a stacked side platform design, where trains heading toward Sheung Wan used the upper platform and those bound for Chai Wan utilized the lower one.
Tseung Kwan O line
From 2001 to 2002, an expansion project was carried out to facilitate a cross-platform interchange with the Kwun Tong line. Nishimatsu Construction received the contract for this extension, beginning their work in July 1998. Additional platforms were constructed opposite the existing ones, temporarily designating North Point as the terminus for the Kwun Tong line. On 4 August 2002, the segment of the Tseung Kwan O line extending to Yau Tong opened, introducing passengers to the new interchange arrangement. Since 18 August 2002, North Point has functioned both as an interchange station and as the terminus for the Tseung Kwan O line.
In 2001, architect Tao Ho collaborated with local schoolchildren to install North Point, My Neighbourhood, a mural illustrating recognizable scenes from the surrounding community.
