Clemenceau (French pronunciation: [klemɑ̃so]) is a Brussels Metro station on the southern segment of lines 2 and 6. It is located under the Rue Jorez/Jorezstraat, close to the Avenue Clemenceau/Clemenceaulaan, in the municipality of Anderlecht, in the western part of Brussels, Belgium. The station takes its name from that nearby avenue, itself named after Georges Clemenceau, a former Prime Minister of France.

The metro station opened on 18 June 1993 and was the terminus of line 2 until the opening of an extension to Delacroix on 4 September 2006. On 4 April 2009, the "loop" of line 2 was completed with the junction between Delacroix and Gare de l'Ouest/Weststation. Following the reorganisation of the Brussels Metro on that occasion, it now lies on the joint section of lines 2 and 6.
