Forest Hill station is a Muni Metro station near the Forest Hill and Laguna Honda neighborhoods in San Francisco, California. It was originally built in 1916 to 1918 as part of the Twin Peaks Tunnel, and is the oldest subway station west of Philadelphia and east of Istanbul.[3] The station was originally named Laguna Honda; lettering with that former name is carved on the station headhouse.

Scenes from the films Dirty Harry (1971) and Milk (2008) were shot inside of this station.
