Washington Dulles International Airport station (commonly Dulles International Airport station or Dulles Airport station) is a Washington Metro station at Dulles International Airport in Loudoun County, Virginia, U.S., on the Silver Line. After years of delays,[2][3][4] the station opened on November 15, 2022. The station was originally planned to be underground[2] but was built as an above-ground station next to daily parking garage 1.[5]

The station is connected to the terminal building using the existing pedestrian tunnel which connects the hourly and daily parking lots and parking garage 1 to the baggage claim level of the airport terminal; the tunnel is equipped with moving sidewalks.
