Croix de Chavaux (French pronunciation: [kʁwa ʃavo]) is a station on line 9 of the Paris Métro, at the crossroads called Croix de Chavaux. The "chavaux" in the name of the crossroads is probably a corruption of the French "chevaux" ("horses"). The "croix" (French for "cross) may be a reference to the crossroads or to a wayside cross.

The station has a standard configuration with two tracks surrounded by two 105-metre-long platforms and the vault is elliptical. The decoration is in the yellow Andreu-Motte style but only the two light canopies remain. White bevelled ceramic tiles cover the walls, vault, and tunnel exits. The advertising frames are made of honey-coloured earthenware and the name of the station is also made of earthenware in the style of the original CMP. The subtitle, on the other hand, is inscribed in Parisine font on enamelled plates of reduced dimensions. The yellow seats are in the Akiko.
