Euclid–East 120th Location within Cleveland

Euclid–East 120th was a station on the RTA Red Line in the University Circle neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, USA. It was located at the Euclid Avenue (U.S. Route 20) and Coltman Road intersection, near the western end of Lake View Cemetery. At the end of service on August 11, 2015, it became the first, and thus far only, station in the history of the RTA to permanently close.

The station was near the site of the old Nickel Plate railroad station. The lobby building of the railroad station was located on the other side of the tracks along the south side of Euclid Avenue. That railway station was removed as part of the Cleveland Union Terminal project and replaced by the East Cleveland station adjacent to today's Superior Rapid Transit station.

When the Cleveland Transit System Rapid Transit was constructed in the early 1950s, it used the original right-of-way laid out for the Van Sweringen brothers' rapid transit system in 1928. The original right-of-way included passenger tunnels and stairways at Mayfield Road (U.S. Route 322), but CTS decided not to place a station there because the buses running on Mayfield Road were those of Redifer Bus Co., not CTS, and CTS did not want to provide an interconnection for a competing bus line. Therefore, the Mayfield station was eliminated in favor of the Euclid-East 120th station. The station opened with the opening of the CTS Rapid Transit on the east side on March 15, 1955.
