Culver City (formerly Culver Junction and Ivy) is an elevated light rail station in the Los Angeles Metro system located at the northeast edge of Downtown Culver City. A rail station since the 1800s, it is now served by the Expo Line. It was the Expo line's terminus from June 2012 to May 2016 until the Expo Line Phase 2 further extended the terminus to Downtown Santa Monica station.

Expo Line service hours are approximately from 4 AM to 12:30 AM daily. Regular scheduled service resumed June 20, 2012.

The station is in Culver City, on a dedicated rail right-of-way alongside Exposition Boulevard — between the intersection of Venice Boulevard and Robertson Boulevard on the west and the intersection of Washington Boulevard and National Boulevard on the east.

At the northeast edge of Downtown Culver City, a major retail, entertainment and arts district, the station is also within walking distance of several major attractions which include the

The station's art consists of images from which concentric lines expand outwards like rings on a tree and was created by artist Tom LaDuke.

Originally named Ivy station on the steam powered Los Angeles and Independence Railroad, Pacific Electric later renamed it Culver Junction in the early 1900s when the stop was made a junction point with the addition of the Venice short line and others which continued west down Venice Boulevard to the South Bay.

The Venice line closed in September 1950, making it no longer a junction, and passenger service ended on September 30, 1953, the name "Culver Junction" remains on maps to this day, referring to the immediate surrounding area. With service restoration in June 2012, the station was renamed Culver City.
