Sierra Madre Villa station is an at-grade light rail station on the A Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. It is located in the median of Interstate 210 (Foothill Freeway), at Sierra Madre Villa Avenue, in Pasadena, California. The light rail station opened on July 26, 2003, as the northern terminus of the original Gold Line, then known as the "Pasadena Metro Blue Line" project. The station, under naming schemes, is named for Sierra Madre Villa Avenue rather than the nearby city of Sierra Madre, although the major thoroughfare leads to Sierra Madre.
The station has a 965 space, five-floor parking garage, accessed from Sierra Madre Villa Avenue and North Halstead Street. The first floor of the parking garage has a multi-bay bus plaza, and the fourth floor has the train platform access, with faregates, ticket vending machines, and a pedestrian bridge, which passes over the westbound lanes of the Foothill Freeway.
Sierra Madre Villa was the Gold Line's northern terminus from 2003 until 2016. Service on the first phase of the Gold Line Foothill Extension Project began on March 5, 2016, which extended the line to APU/Citrus College station.[3]

Sierra Madre Villa station was designed by artist Tony Gleaton. Its structure features large photo portraits that are suspended above the platform access stairways. The pedestrian bridge, as well as the structural beams and posts of the station, are painted in a blue color scheme. The portraits feature local inhabitants, reflecting the area's diversity and differences each person has. The station's 965-space parking structure was designed by artist Beth Thielen, which follows a theme of "nature and movement".[5]
