Boni MRT Station or called as Boni Avenue, is a station on the Manila MRT Blue Line (MRT-3). Its nearest landmarks include Forum Robinsons, Victor Potenciano Medical Center, and Paragon Plaza Building. It is also located near the headquarters of Globe Telecom, at Pioneer Street.

The station is the eighth stop on the MRT for trains heading to Taft Avenue in Pasay City and the sixth stop for trains heading to North Avenue in Quezon City. It has several restaurants and shops that surround the station, including a public market located across the train station.

Jeepneys, buses, taxis, and cycle rickshaws are available outside the station, at EDSA, Pioneer, and Pinatubo Streets. A major jeepney terminal is located in the area, at Metromart Market, and jeeps leaving from the terminal head for western Mandaluyong City, Pasig City, and City of Manila (Stop and Shop near Santa Mesa). A major cycle rickshaw terminal is also nearby, serving locally within Mandaluyong City. Its proximity to Rizal Technological University and other colleges in the area makes the station a popular stop for students.
