Palm Garden station is an at-grade combined light rail and busway station operated by Pittsburgh Regional Transit in the Mount Washington neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The station is located on an exclusive right-of-way shared by the Red Line of the Pittsburgh Light Rail and South Busway routes 39, 41, Y1, Y45, Y46, Y47 and Y49. The station provides access to residences along the back slope of Mount Washington and is named for the large Palm Garden Apartments complex, which is centered on the stop.

Just south of this station buses and trains cross an elevated viaduct, the Palm Garden Trestle, over Pennsylvania Route 51. South of the trestle, the viaduct splits along with the Red Line and South Busway. In this area, routes 39 and 41 return to mixed traffic on Pioneer Avenue and Liberty Avenue respectively.
