Betty Go-Belmonte station is an elevated Light Rail Transit (LRT) station located on the LRT Line 2 (LRT-2) system in Mariana, Quezon City.

The station during its inception was formerly called as Boston station, after the adjacent street of the same name, but was renamed into the current name due to the minor realignment of some stations (the other being V. Mapa) that has caused the change of proximity to the Betty Go-Belmonte Street. It is named after Betty Go-Belmonte, the founder of The Philippine Star and wife of House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr..[1]

The station is the seventh station for trains headed to both Antipolo and Recto stations. It is considered to be one of the least busiest stations on the line.[2]
