Great Mall station (formerly known as Great Mall/Main Transit Center) is a light rail station operated by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA). The station is served by the Orange Line of the VTA light rail system. It is an elevated station over the intersection of Great Mall Parkway and Main Street in Milpitas, California. A pedestrian bridge connects the station to the nearby Great Mall of the Bay Area, after which the station is named.

The station was opened on June 24, 2004, as part of the second phase of VTA's Tasman East light rail extension.[5]

This station formerly served as a major transfer point between VTA Light Rail and bus lines. The transit center was closed and the majority of the bus lines moved to the nearby Milpitas station which opened on December 28, 2019.
