Alabang station is a station on the South Main Line ("Southrail") of the Philippine National Railways. Like all PNR stations, this station is at-grade.

Description[]

The station is the sixteenth station southbound from Tutuban and is one of three PNR stations serving Muntinlupa, the two others being Sucat and Muntinlupa. The station is located on T. Molina Street in Alabang, Muntinlupa, near the Alabang Viaduct of the South Luzon Expressway.

Alabang station is the only PNR station to be completely rebuilt in a different location, having been moved from its original location at Montillano Street to behind Starmall Alabang on T. Molina Street. The new station was opened on April 19, 2010. The other one is Dela Rosa station which moved a block south to better accommodate longest trains and mitigate traffic congestion at the grade crossing along Gil Puyat Avenue.
