Montgallet (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃ɡalɛ]) is a station on line 8 of the Paris Métro in the 12th arrondissement. It is named after the nearby rue Montgallet, which is in turn named after the former owner of the land on which the road was built upon. Rue Montgallet is well known in Paris for its computer shops.
