The Taman Mutiara MRT station is an elevated rapid transit station in Cheras in south-eastern Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is located above the Federal Route 1 Jalan Cheras, next to the Cheras Leisure Mall as well as EkoCheras Mall. And therefore, the station was thus provisionally named Leisure Mall station during construction.

The station is serving the neighbouring residential areas such as Taman Cheras Makmur (Taman Yulek), Taman Desa Aman, Taman Mutiara Barat, Taman Mutiara Timur, Taman Segar, Taman Taynton View and Taman Bukit Hijau.

The station is on the MRT Kajang Line and was opened on 17 July 2017, along with 19 stations under Phase 2 operations of the line. [1]
