Acharya Atre Chowk metro station is a station on the Aqua Line (Line 3) of the Mumbai Metro.

The station is part of the Colaba–Bandra–SEEPZ corridor, Mumbai's first fully underground metro line. The Aqua Line is being implemented by the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC), a joint venture of the Government of India and the Government of Maharashtra, with funding support from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
Acharya Atre Chowk station lies along Dr. Annie Besant Road in Worli, close to commercial and residential developments in the area. The location provides connectivity to neighbourhoods such as Worli Naka, Prabhadevi and Lower Parel, and offers access to nearby civic and cultural landmarks of central Mumbai.
Line 3 runs from Cuffe Parade in south Mumbai to Aarey in the north, passing through major business and transport hubs including Nariman Point, Churchgate, Mumbai Central, Mahalaxmi, Worli, Dadar, Siddhivinayak, Bandra–Kurla Complex, the international and domestic airport terminals, and SEEPZ. Acharya Atre Chowk is one of the line's intermediate underground stations in the Worli stretch.
By bringing rapid transit to the Worli–Prabhadevi belt, the station is intended to reduce road congestion on the Worli stretch of the western corridor and provide a faster north–south alternative to the existing Western Railway suburban line and the BKC bus and road network. The naming of the station after Acharya Atre also preserves a Marathi cultural reference within the modern transit network.
