Kŏnsŏl Station (Korean건설역; Hanja建設驛) is a station on Hyŏksin Line of the Pyongyang Metro.[1] It is notable for being the only station in the Pyongyang Metro to use side platforms, as all other stations use an island platform configuration instead.[1]

The station is in front of the Ryugyong Hotel and a short distance from Pyongyang University of Science and Technology, Victorious Fatherland Liberation Museum and Pyongyang Arena.

The station features the murals A Construction Site of Blast Furnace and Builders of the Capital City.[2]
