Balham Station (GPS: 51.44341, -0.15282) is a station of the London Underground in Balham, in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It is adjacent to the Balham Railway Station of the National Rail. The station is located on Balham High Road (A24) in the boundary of Travelcard Zones 2 and 3.

The Balham Tube Station is served by the Northern Line between the Clapham South Tube Station (heading towards Edgware, Mill Hill East or High Barnet) and Tooting Bec Tube Station (heading towards Morden). The station began operations in 1926 for the City & South London Railway, the precursor of the Northern Line. It was used as a civilian air raid shelter during the Second World War. A bomb dropped above the station caused a partial collapse that killed over sixty people sheltering in the station.
