Ampang Park MRT station is a mass rapid transit (MRT) station in Kuala Lumpur that is served by RapidKL's MRT Putrajaya Line. The MRT station is situated on the former site of Ampang Park Shopping Centre as one of the three Putrajaya Line stations around the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC). It is also located opposite Intermark Mall along the busy stretch of Jalan Tun Razak.

Pedestrian walkway from the MRT station to the LRT station

This MRT station, despite sharing the same name, is not integrated and not to be confused with the separate Ampang Park LRT station, which is serviced by the LRT Kelana Jaya Line instead. Paid zone-to-paid zone integration was once proposed but not constructed at the moment. Passengers are required to tap out from one station, exit the station at ground level and walk along a covered walkway to the entrance of the other station to transfer between the lines.[1]

Paid-to-paid interchange between the Kelana Jaya Line and the Putrajaya Line, both underground, was planned for Ampang Park station; the integration was scrapped in favour of an out-of-station interchange due to cost-cutting measures.[2] Passengers will have to tap out from one line, resurface to ground level, and enter the other underground station when changing between the two lines with a 7 minutes walking time between platforms.

The MRT station's Entrance A faces Jalan Tun Razak, opposite the KL Trillion commercial development and the Jalan Tun Razak fire station.
