French: Louise|italic=no (French) or Dutch; Flemish: Louiza|italic=no (Dutch) is a Brussels Metro station on the southern segment of lines 2 and 6. It is located under the Small Ring (Brussels' inner ring road) at the French: Place Louise|italic=no/Dutch; Flemish: Louizaplein|italic=no, at the end of Avenue Louise/Louizalaan, in the City of Brussels, Belgium. The station takes its name from that nearby avenue, itself named after King Leopold II's eldest daughter, Princess Louise.

The metro station opened on 19 August 1985 and was the southern terminus of line 2 until the opening of an extension to Gare du Midi/Zuidstation on 2 October 1988. Line 2 has since been extended beyond Gare du Midi to Clemenceau in 1993, Delacroix in 2006, and Gare de l'Ouest/Weststation in 2009. Then, following the reorganisation of the Brussels Metro on 4 April 2009, it now lies on the joint section of lines 2 and 6.[1] [2]

The above station was used as a filming location of the music video for Stromae's song Formidable in 2013.[3]
