Croix de Chavaux (French pronunciation: [kʁwa də 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 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.
