Aviation/Century station is an elevated light rail station on the C and K lines of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. It is alongside Aviation Boulevard above its intersection with Century Boulevard, located in the Westchester neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Construction on the station was completed with the rest of the initial line in late 2022,[2] but its opening was delayed to November 3, 2024 due to construction on the LAX Automated People Mover and LAX/Metro Transit Center station.[1]

The Century railroad bridge was demolished on July 25, 2014, to make way for the station.[3]
