Austin[1] (Chinese: 柯士甸站) is an underground MTR railway station on the West Rail Line in Hong Kong. It is part of Kowloon Southern Link which connects the West Rail Line to East Rail Line. Construction will finish in 2nd Quarter 2009. It will provide out-of-system connection to Kowloon Station of Airport Express and Tung Chung line.

The surface station building is divided into two parts by Wui Cheung Road.[2] The site was occupied by the Canton Road Government Offices.

During early construction stages, the station was temporarily named "West Kowloon Station" (Chinese: 九龍西站. The construction contract KDB200 (West Kowloon Station and Tunnels - Jordan Road to East Tsim Sha Tsui Station) was awarded to the Leighton-Balfour Beatty-Kumagai-John Holland Joint Venture (renamed to Link 200 Joint Venture on 9 August 2005) at an estimated contract sum of HK$ 2018 million. This station is part of this contract.
