Étangs Noirs or Zwarte Vijvers is a Brussels metro station. It is located at the border between Brussels' Koekelberg and Molenbeek-Saint-Jean municipalities, in the western part of Brussels. It opened on 8 May 1981 as part of the Sainte-Catherine/Sint-Katelijne–Beekkant extension of former line 1. Following the reorganisation of the Brussels metro on 4 April 2009, it is served by lines 1 and 5, which cross Brussels from east to west. Its name translates into English as the "Black Ponds".
