Kirazlı, or Kirazlı-Bağcılar, is an underground rapid transit complex of the Istanbul Metro and is serviced by M1B and M3 lines.
Kirazlı opened on 14 June 2013 as the southern terminus of the M3 line and eastern terminus of the M1B line. Since the M3 is considered a "continuation" of the M1B, passengers can transfer between these two lines for free. Kirazlı is the only station that offers free transfer in Istanbul. The station was inaugurated with a big ceremony in which officials from the Istanbul Municipality and Istanbul Ulaşım took part.
On January 12, 2017 Lakhe Mashrapov, a man convincted of the 2017 Istanbul Nightclub attack was seen in the station and service to the station was suspended due to a search in an attempt to find him.
