46th Street station is a light rail station on the Metro Blue Line in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This station is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of 46th Street and Minnesota State Highway 55 (Hiawatha Avenue), in the Ericsson neighborhood. This is a side-platform station. Service began at this station when the Blue Line opened on June 26, 2004.

46th Street Station is one of the main bus interchanges on the Blue Line in Minneapolis. Buses serving south Minneapolis and Saint Paul serve the station's bus interchange. A bus rapid transit line, called the A Line, began operating on Snelling Avenue in June 2016, beginning its route at 46th Street station; the line also connects to the Green Line at Snelling Avenue and University Avenue.

Buses enter and exit the station underneath Oak Station Place, a four-story apartment building. A two-story skyway allows traffic such as buses and cars to enter and exit. The building opened in 2012. Between 2019 and 2024, six apartment buildings were built within a .5 miles (0.80 km) that offered a total of 500 units. The area is one of the few places on the Blue Line outside of downtown that has seen significant development of housing.
