Gribaumont (French pronunciation: [ɡʁibomɔ̃]) is a Brussels Metro station on the eastern branch of line 1. It is located in the municipality of Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, in the eastern part of Brussels, Belgium. It is located under the Avenue de Broqueville/De Broquevillelaan and takes its name from the nearby Avenue Louis Gribaumont/Louis Gribaumontlaan, named after the landowner who helped develop the area in the 1900s.
The metro station opened on 20 January 1976. Since 4 April 2009, the station has been served by the eastern branch of line 1 (previously line 1B).
In 2008, the original Pavimento Pirelli black rubber floor tiles on the platforms were removed. They were replaced with new biscuit-coloured terrazzo tiles, with darker grey tiles nearest to the walls. The platform area overhead lighting was also replaced in late 2008.
