Porte de Hal (French: [pɔʁt də al]) or Hallepoort (Dutch) is a rapid transit station in Brussels, Belgium, consisting of both a metro station (on the southern segment of lines 2 and 6) and a premetro (underground tram) station (serving lines 3 and 4 on the North–South Axis between Brussels-North railway station and Albert premetro station). The metro station opened on 2 October 1988 and the premetro station opened on 3 December 1993 (the metro operates one level below the premetro lines).

The station is located in the municipality of Saint-Gilles, south of the City of Brussels, under the Small Ring (Brussels' inner ring road) and next to the 14th-century Halle Gate, after which it is named. It is one metro stop away or about ten minutes' walk from Brussels-South railway station.

The station contains several artworks by François Schuiten of metro trains and futuristic cityscapes, including some views of the medieval Halle Gate amongst skyscrapers.
