Braintree, located at Ivory and Union Streets in Braintree, Massachusetts, is the southernmost station on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's Red Line. It also is a stop on the MBTA Commuter Rail Old Colony Lines. The commuter rail platform is located north of Union Street while the Red Line platform is south of the street.

The station features a large park and ride garage, with space for 1,281 automobiles (though the garage often fills up on busy days). It can be easily reached from Exit 17 off Route 3, a major highway to Cape Cod.

The station opened on March 22, 1980 and is a 30 minute ride from Park Street. Braintree Station is wheelchair accessible. See MBTA accessibility.

Until 2007, there was a $1.25 exit fare and a $2.50 entry fare to pay for the added routes; when at that time the entry fare for MBTA subway stations was normally $1.25. These surcharges existed at Quincy Adams and Braintree, and similar surcharges existed on other parts of the Braintree Extension at various times.
