Commercial–Broadway station (formerly Broadway station and Commercial Drive station, separately) is located on an elevated portion of the Expo Line and an at-grade portion of the Millennium Line, a part of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. It is a major transit hub, with the most boardings of any SkyTrain station, and a terminus of Metro Vancouver's busiest bus route, the 99 B-Line. Prior to October 22, 2016, the station was one of only three in the world where the same metro line (Millennium Line) runs through it twice in a pretzel configuration, the others being Monument Metro station on the Tyne and Wear Metro in Newcastle upon Tyne, England and Voorweg RandstadRail station on the Randstadrail in The Hague, Netherlands.

Commercial–Broadway station is located just east of the intersection of E.Broadway and Commercial Drive in East Vancouver. Part of the station is elevated over East Broadway, while another part is located deep within the Grandview Cut south of Grandview Highway North. The two parts are connected via an elevator and skyway. It is on the outskirts of Vancouver's Little Italy district.

Commercial–Broadway station is a merger of two existing stations: Broadway station on the Expo Line and Commercial Drive station on the Millennium Line.

Broadway station was built in 1985 on the original Expo Line. It has been one of the system's busiest stations and in 2002 became a transfer point to the Millennium Line via the connected Commercial Drive Station. In 2008, renovations began on the station, in which a new entrance was added on the south side of the station, the old elevator was replaced and relocated, and the traditional mesh paneling on the ground level was refitted with glass. These upgrades were completed in 2009.
