Viau is a station on the Green Line of the Montreal Metro in Montreal, Québec, Canada. It is in the district of Hochelaga-Maisonneuve 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, in time for the 1976 Summer Olympics. Designed by architect Irving Sager, it is a normal side-platform station built in a shallow open cut. The eastern end of the station is surmounted by the large station pavilion, which includes the ticket hall. There is no transept; stairs lead directly from the platforms to street level. The eastern wall of the mezzanine is decorated by a non-figurative ceramic mural by Jean-Paul Mousseau, entitled Opus 74 and representing the Olympic flame and the tower of the Stade Olympique.
Origin of the name This station is named for rue Viau, named for local industrialist Charles-Théodore Viau, who purchased nearby tracts of land and developed them as a neighbourhood later named Viauville.
