Watt/I-80 is a side platformed Sacramento RT light rail station in North Highlands, California, United States. The station was opened on March 12, 1987, is operated by the Sacramento Regional Transit District, and is served by the Blue Line. The station is located in the median of Interstate 80 below Watt Avenue, and this has been the Blue Line's northern terminus since its opening.

The station includes a park-and-ride and a bus transfer center. It is one of the busiest bus/light rail transfer points in the Sacramento Regional Transit District. It is also the only 2-level light rail station in the system: light rail, peak commute buses, and a Placer County Transit bus route to Auburn use the lower level in the I-80 median, while all daily routes use the Watt Avenue overpass on the upper level.
