Fernando Poe Jr. station is the current northern terminus of the Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) system. It opened on October 22, 2010, as part of the LRT-1 North Extension Project, as Roosevelt (Tagalog: [ˈrusvɛlt, ˈrusbɛlt]) and got its current name on August 20, 2023, almost two years after the namesake avenue was officially renamed after the Filipino actor.

Fernando Poe Jr. is one of the two LRT-1 stations serving Quezon City, the other being Balintawak.

It is located along EDSA at the boundary of barangays Veterans Village and Ramon Magsaysay (Bago Bantay) in Quezon City, both of Projects 7 and 8, respectively. It links to Congressional Avenue and Fernando Poe Jr. Avenue.
