Green Road Station is a station on the aptly named-Green Line of the RTA Rapid Transit in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. It is the eastern terminus of the Green Line.

The station is located below street level in the enlarged median of Shaker Boulevard at the intersection of Green Road in Shaker Heights. The station includes a large open parking area which extends to West Green Station.

When Shaker Boulevard east of Warrensville Center Road was laid out by the Van Sweringen Brothers in the 1920s, it included a broad median strip with room for four rapid transit tracks as well as a high-speed automobile parkway. The rapid transit right-of-way extended along Shaker Boulevard to Brainard Road and from there along Gates Mills Boulevard all the way to near Mayfield Road, where it ended in a large loop suitable for use as a streetcar yard.

The Shaker Boulevard line of the Shaker Heights Rapid Transit was expanded one mile east from Warrensville Center Road to Green Road in 1936. The extension was originally a single track using rails and poles from a scrapped interurban line. A loop was provided east of Green Road for the cars to reverse direction. A second track was added to the extension in 1942, when increased ridership during World War II made single-track operation no longer feasible.
