Groenplaats premetro station is an Antwerp premetro station. Located underneath the Groenplaats, it is served by lines 3, 5, 9 and 15.
Groenplaats premetro station was opened on 25 March 1975 and is one of the oldest premetro stations in Antwerp. It is recognizable by the green decoration on the platform toward Linkeroever in the brick decoration toward Meir.
