Katipunan LRT Station is a station on the Manila LRT Purple Line (MRT-2). It is the only underground station in the entire LRT system. The station is located in Loyola Heights in Quezon City and is named because of its location on Katipunan Avenue, one of Quezon City's main thoroughfares. The avenue is in turn named after the Katipunan.
