Cermak–McCormick Place is a station on the Chicago Transit Authority's Green Line. The station, designed by Chicago-based Ross Barney Architects, is located at Cermak Road and State Street in the Near South Side neighborhood of Chicago. The station includes three entrances – one on each side of Cermak Road and one at 23rd Street. The main station entrance is built on the north side of Cermak road.

The new station replaced the original Cermak station that opened on June 6, 1892, closed on September 9, 1977, and was demolished in 1978. Both the former and the new station are situated south of Roosevelt/Wabash and north of 35th–Bronzeville–IIT.

On January 17, 2012, Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel announced at a press conference that the Cermak station would be rebuilt in order to serve McCormick Place. A groundbreaking ceremony for the new station was held on August 29, 2013. The new Cermak-McCormick Place station opened on February 8, 2015.
