Wan Chai (Chinese: 灣仔, Jyutping: Waan1 Zai2, Pinyin: Wānzǎi) is a station on Island line of Hong Kong's MTR. It serves Wan Chai. The main MTR railway is beneath Hennessy Road in the district. Due to the large area of Wan Chai, more than 50 entry/exit gates and 8 entrances/exits are set up. One of the entrances/exits is on the footbridge along O'Brien Road, which leads to Immigration Tower in Wan Chai North. The livery colour is yellow green.

The tunnel for east-bound trains from this station towards Causeway Bay Station features an advertisement presented in the form of a slideshow. The large number of sequential panels, in conjunction with the fast movement of the train, allows the passenger to feel as if he is watching a commercial.
