Radisson is a station on the Green Line of the Montreal Metro in Montreal, Québec, Canada. It is in the district of Saint-Jean-de-Dieu in the borough of Mercier/Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. It was inaugurated on June 6, 1976, as part of the extension of the Green Line to Honoré-Beaugrand.

Designed by Papineau, Gérin-Lajoie, Le Blanc, Edwards, it is a normal side-platform station built partly in tunnel, with a very tall, vaulted volume over the eastern part of the platform. This contains the transept and a tall escalator shaft rising unsupported to the ticket hall above. The latter gives access to three entrances. The station serves a metropolitan bus terminus and a park and ride lot.
