Ayala MRT Station is a station on the Manila MRT Blue Line (MRT-3). Ayala Station is one of the two underground (also elevated) that can be found on the line, the other underground station of which is Buendia. The station is located in Makati City and is named because of its location near two places that bear the Ayala name: Ayala Center and Ayala Avenue, although the former is more associated with the station name than the latter.

The station is the third station for trains headed to North Avenue and the eleventh station for trains headed to Taft Avenue. The most recognizable landmark near the station is Ayala Center, one of the most recognizable shopping centers in the Philippines. It is one of two stations that are considered within Makati's Central Business District (the other being Buendia), and this station has multiple stairs, escalators, and elevators in and out of the station.

Ayala MRT station also has a shopping center within the station (similar to Shaw Boulevard MRT Station), with restaurants, shops, and facilities that surround the concourse level of the station above the main platform. The station has an elevated walkway to SM Makati, which continues on to the Ayala Center.
