Capitol Hill is a Link Light Rail station that opened on March 19, 2016, serving the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. It is situated between the Westlake and University of Washington stations on the 3.15-mile-long (5.07 km) University Link Extension, which runs from Downtown Seattle to the University of Washington campus. The station consists of an island platform below a split mezzanine with three surface entrances located in the vicinity of Broadway between East Denny Way and East John Street. Connections at the surface level include the First Hill Streetcar and several King County Metro bus routes, while the former staging area surrounding the station entrances will be redeveloped into transit-oriented, mixed-use buildings with affordable housing.

Sound Transit projects approximately 14,000 daily boardings at the station in 2030, assuming the completion of other light rail extensions.

Capitol Hill station, serving the Seattle neighborhood of the same name, is located on two city blocks east of Broadway between East Howell Street and E John Street. The station site is bordered to the east by Cal Anderson Park; it is also located near the Seattle Central College campus.
