Bizet (French pronunciation: [bizɛ]) is a Brussels Metro station on the western branch of line 5. It is located in the municipality of Anderlecht, in the western part of Brussels, Belgium. The station received its name from the aboveground square Place Bizet/Bizetplein, itself named after the French classical music composer Georges Bizet.

The metro station opened on 10 January 1992, and until 2003, it was the western terminus of former line 1B. On 15 September 2003, a further extension from Bizet westwards to Erasme/Erasmus was opened. Then, following the reorganisation of the Brussels Metro on 4 April 2009, it is served by the extended east–west line 5.
