Mooney's Bay station is an O-Train station along Line 2 located near Heron Road and Bronson Avenue in Ottawa, Ontario, which primarily serves the Government of Canada offices in the Confederation Heights area, and students from Brookfield High School. In 2011, a pedestrian and cyclist path was built to provide a direct link between Mooney's Bay station and Brookfield Road.

The station was originally named Confederation station after the area in which the station is located, Confederation Heights. On December 24, 2017, the station was renamed to Mooney's Bay station (after nearby Mooney's Bay Park) to avoid confusion with the O-Train's new Confederation Line, which opened in 2019.{{Cite web|url=http://www.octranspo.com/ready4rail/new_winter_service_starts_on_dec_24|title=New winter service starts on Dec. 24|website=OC Transpo}} Along with the rest of the Trillium Line, the station closed on May 3, 2020, for the extension of the line and an upgrade of the station, including a lengthened platform. The station re-opened on January 6, 2025.
