Crainhem (French) or Kraainem (Dutch) is a Brussels Metro station in the municipality of Woluwe-Saint-Lambert/Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe, in the eastern part of Brussels, Belgium. Since 4 April 2009, the station has been served by line 1 (previously line 1B). It is located near the intersection of the Avenue de Wezembeek/Wezembeeklaan, the Avenue Mounier/Mounierlaan, and the Avenue de Kraainem/Kraainemlaan. It has a large park-and-ride lot and is also the terminus for a number of inbound regional bus routes of De Lijn, as well as for the STIB/MIVB bus routes 30 and 31.

The station was inaugurated in 1988 with the extension of the eastern branch of line 1B from Alma to Stockel/Stokkel. Due to its location in a park-and-ride lot, it is one of the few Brussels Metro stations that has its own station building on the surface (most other stations having only an underground mezzanine).
