Georgia Avenue-Petworth is a Washington Metro station in Washington, D.C., on the Green Line and Yellow Line.

Georgia Avenue–Petworth station is located at the border of the neighborhoods of Petworth, Sixteenth Street Heights, and Park View in Northwest.

Like many other Washington Metro stations, Georgia Avenue-Petworth has catalyzed nearby development. The District of Columbia Office of Planning has divided development proposals into four localities near the station:

Georgia Avenue-Petworth opened on September 18, 1999, as part of a connecting extension of the Green Line between U Street and Fort Totten, allowing trains to travel between Anacostia and Greenbelt.

The station's west entrance closed on December 11, 2006, to accommodate construction of a mixed-use development. Bus stops, bike racks, and lockers were moved, and the entrance remained closed until 2009, a year later than planned.
