Kennedy Town (Chinese: 堅尼地城, Cantonese IPA: [kin₅₅ nei₁₁ tei₂₂ siŋ₁₁], Jyutping: gin1 nei4 dei6 sing4, Mandarin Pinyin: Jiānnídì Chéng) is the proposed terminus on the Hong Kong MTR West Island Line, an extension to the existing . The station will serve the Kennedy Town area on the northwestern end of Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong.

When the station first appeared in Hong Kong Mass Transit: Further Studies in 1970, it was simply known as Kennedy (Chinese: 堅尼地; Cantonese IPA: [kin₅₅ nei₁₁ tei₂₂], Jyutping: gin1 nei4 dei6, Mandarin Pinyin: Jiānnídì). It was to be built as part of the Island Line in the 1980s, but construction of the line did not commence westwards beyond Sheung Wan, citing inadequate passengers and technical difficulties by contractors.

Under the latest proposal as of June 2005, Kennedy Town would be served by West Island Line as an extension of the Island Line, a heavy rail system, instead of being served by a medium-capacity rail shared by commuters from Southern District, after pressures from local community groups.
