AsiaWorld-Expo (Traditional Chinese: }; Jyutping: bok3 laam5 gwun2; pinyin: Bólǎnguǎn; literally means "Expo Hall" or "Pavilion") is a station on the Airport Express of Hong Kong's MTR. It serves the AsiaWorld-Expo on the northeast corner of Chek Lap Kok, the island on which the Hong Kong International Airport is located.

AsiaWorld-Expo is an exhibition centre designed to host large scale trade fairs, exhibitions, conventions and concerts. It is located adjacent to Hong Kong International Airport. To better serve the travelling needs of exhibitors and visitors, the Airport Express Line has been extended with a new station at the AsiaWorld-Expo. The station opened on 20 December 2005, in time for the opening of the new exhibition centre on the same date. The extension provides convenient rail access to the exhibition centre from the central business district and other stations on the MTR network.
