Plamondon is a station on the Montreal Metro Orange Line, located in the Côte-des-Neiges area of the borough of Côte-des-Neiges/Notre-Dame-de-Grâce.

It was inaugurated on June 29, 1982; it served as the western terminus of the Orange Line, taking over from Côte-Sainte-Catherine station, until the extension to Du Collège was completed in 1984.

The station is a normal side-platform station with an entrance at either end. The northern entrance is integrated into a social housing project.

The station was designed by Patrice Gauthier.
