Angle Lake is a Link light rail station in SeaTac, Washington. The elevated station is the southern terminus of the Central Link, which travels north to Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, the Rainier Valley, Downtown Seattle, and the University of Washington.

The station was built as part of the South 200th Link Extension project, extending the light rail line south from its terminus at SeaTac Airport via a 1.6-mile-long (2.6 km) elevated guideway. The project was originally approved by voters in the 1996 "Sound Move" ballot measure, with a promise to open in 2006, but was deferred when funding was not found. The 2008 "Sound Transit 2" campaign was approved with funding for the station and extension, estimated to open in 2020; federal grants were obtained to accelerate design and construction, moving up the opening date to late 2016.

The station was originally referred to as the South 200th Street station, but was officially named for the nearby lake in December 2012 by the Sound Transit Board. Construction on the extension began in May 2013 and on the station in September 2014; the project was budgeted at $383 million. Angle Lake station opened to the public on September 24, 2016.

Sound Transit projects a daily ridership of 5,400 by 2018.

Angle Lake station is located above the intersection of South 200th Street and 28th Avenue South in SeaTac, southeast of the Seattle–Tacoma International Airport and a block west of International Boulevard (State Route 99). The elevated station spans South 200th Street on the west side of 28th Avenue South, with two entrances on each side of the street.
