Piața Victoriei is a metro station in Piața Victoriei (Victory Square), central Bucharest. It is near the Victoria Palace, the headquarters of the Romanian government. The metro station consists of two parts, set on different levels:

• Piața Victoriei 1, serving Line M2, is above;
• Piața Victoriei 2, serving Line M1, is below.

Along with Piața Unirii, the Piața Victoriei station is one of the busiest metro stations in Bucharest.

The station was opened in two stages: Piața Victoriei 1 on 24 October 1987 as part of the M2 extension from Piața Unirii to Pipera; Piața Victoriei 2 on 17 August 1989 as part of the then M3 line from Gara de Nord to Dristor, which later became the terminal section of the M1 line.

The station was the setting for many parts of the documentary Children Underground.
