Rogier is a rapid transit station in Brussels, Belgium, consisting of both a metro station (on the northern segment of lines 2 and 6) and a premetro (underground tram) station (serving lines 3 and 4 on the North–South Axis between Brussels-North railway station and Albert premetro station). It is located under the Small Ring (Brussels' inner ring road) at the Place Charles Rogier/Karel Rogierplein in the municipality of the Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, north of the City of Brussels.

The station opened as a premetro station on 18 August 1974 and became a full metro station on 2 October 1988. It was named after the city square above ground, itself named after Charles Rogier, Belgium's 13th Prime Minister.
