Mission Station is an at-grade light rail station in the Los Angeles County Metro Rail system. It is located at the intersection of Mission Street and Meridian Avenue in South Pasadena, California. The station is served by the Gold Line.[1]

This station features station art called Astride-Aside, created by artist Michael Stutz. The station has a 122 space park and ride lot and there is a fee to park.

The station was at the same site of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe "South Pasadena" station. The Santa Fe used the same right-of-way as the Gold Line, and the depot was torn down in 1954.[2]
