Highland station is an MBTA Commuter Rail station in Boston, Massachusetts. It serves the Needham Line. It is located in the Bellevue Hill section of West Roxbury. The station has a mini-high platform for accessibility.

The station originally opened around 1855 on the Boston and Providence Railroad's West Roxbury Branch. A stone station building, similar to one constructed at Mount Hope station the previous year, was built in 1885.[2]

The MBTA expanded the parking lot in the early 1990s.[3]
