The Southwest 6th & Madison Street and City Hall/Southwest 5th & Jefferson Street stations are light rail stations on the MAX Green and Yellow Lines in Portland, Oregon. It is the fifth stop southbound on the Portland Transit Mall extension.

The stations are built into the sidewalks of 5th and 6th Avenues, with the 5th Avenue platform heading southbound and the 6th Avenue platform northbound. The stations are located at the base of the PacWest Center. Points of interest include the Wells Fargo Center, the Portland Building, Portland City Hall, and other numerous government buildings in Downtown Portland. The station serves all bus lines on 5th Avenue and 45–Garden Home Rd, 58–Canyon Rd, 55-Hamilton and 38–Boones Ferry Rd. The stop ID number for the bus stop is 12791. On 5th Ave, lines 17–Hogate-Broadway, 9–Powell Blvd and 19–Woodstock-Gilsan are one block away from the station. The stop ID number for this bus stop is 7594.

When opened on August 30, 2009, the stations were located in Fareless Square (within fare zone 1), which was renamed the Free Rail Zone four months later, in January 2010. However, the fare-free zone was eliminated in 2012, when TriMet discontinued all use of fare zones.
