Universitas Indonesia Station (UI)[1] is a railway station located in Pondok Cina, Beji, Depok, West Java, Indonesia. The station is located on the eastern perimeter of University of Indonesia complex, between Pondok Cina Station and Universitas Pancasila Station. This station is one of two railway stations serving University of Indonesia along with Pondok Cina Station, about 1 kilometer to the south which is located closer to the university rectorate building.

KRL Commuterline passenger at the station are dominated by the University of Indonesia students and local people who live around the campus area. Its position inside the campus environment causes the frequency of crowds inside the station to be seen only during the hours of entering and leaving the office/campus. Unlike the stations located on the Manggarai-Depok route, whose canopy forms the letter Y, the canopy for UI Station (and also Tebet Station) forms the letter T.

Since 1 August 2019 Universitas Indonesia Station, together with Sudirman, Palmerah, Cikini, and Taman Kota Stations, officially abolished the sale of single trip cards (Guaranteed Daily Tickets/Tiket Harian Berjaminan or THB) for KRL Commuterline passengers. This is due to the majority of KRL Commuterline passengers are used to using multi-trip cards and electronic money. In this way, long queues to buy KRL tickets can be cut. However, service users can still tap-in/tap-out with THB at the station.[2][3]
