NAIT/Blatchford Market station is an Edmonton LRT station in Edmonton, Alberta which serves as the northern terminus of the Metro Line.[1] The station is located north of Princess Elizabeth Avenue, on the west side of the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology and Brigadier James Curry Jefferson Armoury. The station was built after a long-term comprehensive land use plan of the Edmonton City Centre Airport lands were finalized.[2][3][1]

NAIT station opened in 2015 at a temporary location until it was renamed and relocated approximately 200 metres northwest, to its permanent location on January 20, 2024.
