Walnut Hill station is a DART light rail station in Dallas, Texas. It is served by the Red Line and the Orange Line.[1] The elevated station is located at the intersection of Walnut Hill Lane and Manderville Lane, roughly halfway between North Central Expressway (US 75) and Greenville Avenue, with exits on both the northern and southern sides of Walnut Hill Lane.

The station serves the northern portions of the Vickery Meadow neighborhood,[4] including Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital and the mixed-use development The Hill.[5]

In tribute to the hospital, the station's columns are decorated with health-related words, and the station contains four pendulums representing that "time heals". The façade was created by local artist Linnea Glatt as part of DART's Station Art & Design Program.[6][7]
