Bøler is a station on Østensjøbanen (line 3) on Norway's Oslo T-bane system between the stations of Ulsrud and Bogerud, 9.2 km from Stortinget. The station opened as a subway station on October 29 1967, but rail service to Bøler started already in 1958 as part of the city's tram network.

The Bøler neighborhood is residential which was developed as a suburb during the late 1950s and 1960s. The old farm at Bøler lies next to the station and is preserved.

The road Utmarkveien passes directly above the station by means of a road bridge. Criticism has been raised over the station's dilapidated condition, but funds for renovation went to other subway stations in 2005.
