Porte de Namur (French: [pɔʁt də namyʁ]) or Naamsepoort (Dutch) is a Brussels Metro station on the southern segment of lines 2 and 6. It is located under the Small Ring (Brussels' inner ring road) and next to the Chaussée d'Ixelles/Elsense Steenweg, in the municipality of Ixelles, south of the City of Brussels, Belgium.

The station opened as a premetro (underground tram) station on 20 December 1970 and became a heavy metro station on 2 October 1988. It takes its name from the ancient Namur Gate area, itself named after the Namur Gate in Brussels' old city walls.
