Batu Kentonmen Komuter station is an at-grade Malaysian commuter railway train station located at the 4.5th miles of Jalan Ipoh, a major road and residential suburb of Kuala Lumpur. The station is named after the Batu Cantonment camp (Malay: Batu Kentomen), an army detention centre and army weapons depot located beside the station. The station is built as a feeder station for a number of residential neighbourhoods and is integrated with the adjacent military base, as sheltered walkways are built allowing military staff convenient use of the station. Slightly off-platform, a line from the main line branches of into the camp.

The station is designed to be disabled-friendly, with lifts to platforms and ramps to the ticketing office. Metal roofings fully cover the main platforms of the station.
