City Air Terminal or Makkasan Station (Thai: สถานีมักกะสัน) is a rapid transit station on the Suvarnabhumi Airport Link. The station was opened in August 2010. It is the biggest rapid transit station in Bangkok. City Air Terminal was the terminal station for the Airport Rail Link Express Line, which was suspended in September 2014 due to a shortage of rolling stock. Currently, the station is a stop on the Airport Rail Link City Line.

Thai Airways' City Air Terminal facilities are located inside the station. As of September 2014, the City Air Terminal check-in service is no longer operational.

The station has a skywalk, accessible by escalators and elevator, connecting it to Phetchaburi MRT Station, MRT Blue Line.
