Taman Connaught MRT station is an elevated rapid transit station on the Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line (SBK line), located in Taman Connaught, Bandar Tun Razak constituency in southeastern Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

It was opened on 17 July 2017, along with 19 adjoining stations (from Muzium Negara to Kajang) as part of Phase 2 of the system.

The station is adjacent to the Federal Territory-Selangor border, along a bend of the Grand Saga Expressway E7. Across the station is the Cheras Sentral mall, once known as Phoenix Plaza which was closed in 2005 and mothballed until it was refurbished under a new owner. The station was thus provisionally named Plaza Phoenix station during construction.

There is a pedestrian bridge connecting the station to the Cheras Sentral mall.

Taman Connaught station, or rather Plaza Phoenix station, was initially planned to be an interchange between the Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line and the SSP Line when the MRT lines were first announced. The alignments were later changed and Tun Razak Exchange became the interchange instead.
