Herrmann-Debroux is a Brussels Metro station serving as the eastern terminus of line 5. It is located in the municipality of Auderghem, in the south-eastern part of Brussels, Belgium. It is named after the Belgian politician and former Mayor of Auderghem, Carl Herrmann-Debroux.

The metro station opened on 23 May 1985. Then, following the reorganisation of the Brussels Metro on 4 April 2009, it is served by the extended east–west line 5.
