Dakota MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Circle Line (CCL) in Geylang, Singapore. Operated by SMRT Trains, it serves nearby landmarks such as Broadrick Secondary School, Kong Hwa School, and Old Airport Food Court & Shopping Mall. Little Things, Little Stories by art group A Dose of Light, which features photographs of objects found in the Dakota neighbourhood, is displayed at this station as part of the Art-in-Transit artwork programme.
The station was first announced in April 2001 under the name Tanjong Katong as part of Stage 2 of the CCL. It had to be rebuilt when construction resumed in June 2004, following the Nicoll Highway collapse in April. It was renamed to Dakota in July 2005 and opened on 17 April 2010 alongside other CCL stations from Dhoby Ghaut to Tai Seng.
