Joséphine-Charlotte is a Brussels Metro station on the eastern branch of line 1. It is located in the municipality of Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, in the eastern part of Brussels, Belgium. The station is located entirely below the Avenue de Broqueville/De Broquevillelaan. The station, like the green square adjacent to its entrance, is named after Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte of Luxembourg (born Princess of Belgium).

The metro station opened on 20 January 1976. Since 4 April 2009, the station has been served by the eastern branch of line 1 (previously line 1B).

In late 2008, the original Pavimento Pirelli black rubber flooring on the platforms was replaced with new biscuit-coloured terrazzo floor tiles.
