'''Diamond Hill''' ({{zh|t=鑽石山|cy=Jyun sehk sāan}}) is an [[MTR]] [[List of MTR stations|station]] located in [[Tai Hom Village|Tai Hom]], Northern [[Kowloon]], named for local [[Diamond Hill]] area. It is an interchange station on the {{lnl|MTR|kt}} and {{lnl|MTR|tml}}. The station is incorporated into the large [[Plaza Hollywood]] development.

== Station layout ==

The Tuen Ma line platforms are located below those of the Kwun Tong line; the station was expanded to include those platforms and an extended concourse as part of the ''[[Sha Tin to Central Link]]'' project.

Space was reserved for the platforms of the [[East Kowloon line (1970 scheme)|East Kowloon line]] when this station was built in the 1970s. This can be seen behind the advertising panels on the Kwun Tong line platforms. The spaces for the reserved platforms are little more than untrimmed rock formations behind the advertising panels.
