To Kwa Wan (Chinese: 土瓜灣) is an underground MTR rapid transit station in Hong Kong on the Tuen Ma line. It is located beneath Ma Tau Wai Road in central To Kwa Wan, Kowloon City District. The station was built as part of the Sha Tin to Central Link (SCL) project, and opened on 27 June 2021^[2] along with the rest of phase 2 of the Tuen Ma line (Sung Wong Toi–Hung Hom). The station was constructed by a Samsung–Hsin Chong joint venture.^[3] When the station was originally being built, the planned name of the station was Mau Tau Wai (Chinese: 馬頭圍) before being changed to its current one in 2017. ^[4]

Station layout

L1	Concourse	Customer service, MTR shops
L2 Upper Platform	Platform 1	←      Tuen Ma line towards Tuen Mun (Ho Man Tin)
	Side platform, doors will open on the left
L4 Lower Platform	Platform 2	→      Tuen Ma line towards Wu Kai Sha (Sung Wong Toi) →
	Side platform, doors will open on the right

The platforms are arranged in a split platform style as the station was constructed under the narrow Ma Tau Wai Road with a high density of nearby buildings.^[5] This arrangement also allows trains to switch sides, depending on the terminus. Trains on platform 1 switch to the left side, while trains on platform 2 switch to the right side. This is necessary since the Ma On Shan Rail was built with trains run on the right-hand side to facilitate interchange at Tai Wai, whereas on the West Rail trains run on the left like other railway lines in the territory.
