Sir M. Visveshwaraya Stn., Central College is an underground metro station on the East-West corridor of the Purple Line of Namma Metro in Bangalore, India. This metro station was opened to the public on 30 April 2016.

The station acquires its name from the nearby University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering, which had been named after M. Visvesvaraya, an Indian engineer, scholar, statesman and the Diwan of Mysore from 1912 to 1918.
