Belgica is a Brussels Metro station on the northern branch of line 6. It is located in the municipality of Jette, in the north-west of Brussels, Belgium. The station received its name from the aboveground Boulevard Belgica/Belgicalaan, itself named in honour of RV Belgica, the ship that carried the first Belgian polar expedition to the Antarctic in 1897.[1]

The metro station opened on 6 October 1982 as part of the Beekkant–Bockstael extension of former line 1A. Then, following the reorganisation of the Brussels Metro on 4 April 2009, it is served by line 6.[2]
In May 2024, Brussels Mobility and the Brussels Intercommunal Transport Company (STIB/MIVB) applied for a permit to build a new tram line connecting Belgica with Brussels-North railway station.[3]
