Joliette 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.
Designed by architect Marcel Raby, it is a normal side-platform station built in tunnel. The walls of the platform have a unique yellow brick facade. It has no transept, with closed staircases leading to the mezzanine above; this gives access to two exits, one on either side of rue Hochelaga. The mezzanine contains a large illuminated mural sculpture by the architect, entitled Thème des mouvements du soleil ("theme of the sun's motion").
