Samrong (Template:Lang-th, RTGSSathani Samrong, pronounced [sā.tʰǎː.nīː sǎm.rōːŋ]) is a BTS Skytrain station, on the Sukhumvit Line in Samut Prakan, Thailand.

Trial operation began in March 2017, and the station was officially opened by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on 3 April 2017,[1] with passengers able to ride the extension for free for a month beginning on 4 April 2017.[2] It was the eastern terminus of the line, until the opening of the other stations of the Sukhumvit Line Extension (East) on 6 December 2018. In future it will connect to the MRT Yellow Line.[3] It is one of only three BTS stations to have island platforms, with the other being Siam and Ha Yaek Lat Phrao.
