West 25th-Ohio City is a station on the RTA Red Line in the Ohio City neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, USA. It is located at the intersection of West 24th Street, Abbey Avenue and Lorain Avenue (Ohio State Route 10), diagonally across Lorain Avenue from the West Side Market. The station is the first one toward the Airport to be located west of the Cuyahoga River; the Red Line is the only rapid transit line to serve Cleveland both east and west of the Cuyahoga.

The station opened on August 14, 1955 when the west side portion of the CTS Rapid Transit began operation.

When RTA began a program of rebuilding stations, including making them ADA compliant, West 25th Station was the first station renovated. The new $2.6 million station opened September 1992. The old utilitatian station was replaced with a station featuring a glass canopy with a bright red head house.

The 1992 station renovation included an art installation by Cleveland artist Don Harvey.
