Tuas Link (EW33) is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the East–West Line in Tuas. The colour scheme used for the station is green.

It is the first elevated station where the concourse was built above the platforms, due to site constraints that prevented the concourse from being built at ground level and required the tracks to descend towards the nearby train depot.[1]

Although Tuas Checkpoint is located near the station, entry or exit by foot to the checkpoint is prohibited. Commuters wishing to cross the border at Tuas Checkpoint must transfer to Causeway Link Bus Service CW7 at the bus stop opposite the station (Bus Stop 25421).
