Kamphaeng Phet station (Thai: สถานีกำแพงเพชร, pronounced [sā.tʰǎː.nīː kām.pʰɛ̄ːŋ pʰét]) is a Bangkok MRT station on the Blue Line in Bangkok, Thailand. It is beneath Kamphaeng Phet Road (Thanon), providing a direct access to the Chatuchak Weekend Market and Or Tor Kor Market. Not to be confused with the town or province of Kamphaeng Phet. An underground mall opened here in early 2009.

The preceding station is Bang Sue station and next station is Chatuchak Park.

The road is named after Purachatra Jayakara, Prince of Kamphaeng Phet (Thai, พระเจ้าบรมวงศ์เธอ พระองค์เจ้าบุรฉัตรไชยากร กรมพระกำแพงเพชรอัครโยธิน), the first Thai commander of State Railway of Thailand.
