Guojia Tushuguan (National Library) station (Chinese: 国家图书馆站; pinyin: Guójiā Túshūguǎn zhàn) is an interchange station on Line 4, Line 9 and Line 16 of the Beijing Subway. Its name is derived from the nearby National Library of China.

The station features a double-island interchange layout, with Line 4 trains on the outside and Line 9 trains on the inside, which allows most riders to change lines simply by crossing the platform, instead of walking between levels. This configuration is known as cross-platform interchange. The station handles 106,000 transfers between Lines 4 and 9 per day. The platform for Line 16 is built under the Line 4 and Line 9 platform. Peak-hour through service of Fangshan line to Line 9 started on January 18, 2023.
