The Cochrane station is a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) underground station in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on the MRT Kajang Line. The station was opened on 17 July 2017 as part of the second phase operations of the line.^[1]

The station is located in the Cheras area of Kuala Lumpur adjacent to Cochrane Road, Peel Road and Shelley Road. It is also well known for being located near two large shopping complexes - MyTown Shopping Centre (housing Malaysia's second IKEA store) and Sunway Velocity Mall, with the former being connected to the station via an underground pedestrian linkway and the latter via an elevated pedestrian bridge.

The underground station is located in Cheras along Cochrane Road, Peel Road and Shelley Road. The location is part of an area previously occupied by quarters housing government servants.

The station has four underground levels, with three accessible to the public, namely the Upper Concourse Level, Lower Concourse Level and the Platform Level. One level housing the plant rooms is located between the Upper and Lower Concourse Levels, and is not accessible by the public. The ground level above the station is an open plaza with the station's two entrance buildings cum ventilation shafts as well as a skylight opening with a distinctive glass pyramid.

The theme chosen for the interior design of the station was "Urban Living" in recognition of the role the station will play in the redevelopment of the area.^[2][3]

The following is the station layout of the station:^[4]

The station has two entrances. Entrance A is located at Cochrane Road, and Entrance B is located at Shelley Road. There is also an entrance at the upper concourse level in between two entrances which is under the glass pyramid which links to MyTown Shopping Centre and IKEA Cheras. There is a pedestrian overhead bridge which leads to Sunway Velocity Mall is accessible via Entrance B. The feeder bus serves at the feeder bus hub located at Entrance A.

The Cochrane MRT station is named after Cochrane Road which in turn is named after C.W.H. Cochrane (1876 - 1932), the 17th British Resident of Perak and the Chief Secretary to the Government of the Federated Malay States from 1929 to 1930.

The station is partly located on the site of the former Cochrane Road government quarters. The quarters were demolished in 2010 and the area was earmarked for redevelopment. The MRT station was to become one of the catalysts for this redevelopment process and in recognition of this role, the theme for the interior design of the station that was chosen was "Urban Living".

With the opening of the MRT Kajang Line, feeder buses also began operating linking the station with several housing and commercial areas around Bandar Tun Razak, Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz UKM (HCTM), Bandar Sri Permaisuri, Taman Midah, Taman Shamelin Perkasa and Pandan Perdana. The feeder buses operate from the station's feeder bus hub at Entrance A (Opposite to MyTown Shopping Centre).

The same feeder bus lines also serves the Maluri station but only acts as a pass-by only.

The T400  feeder bus route serves almost similar alignment as T402  which originates from  KG24  MRT Taman Midah station.
