Riverside – La Sierra is a train station served by Metrolink commuter rail in the La Sierra South neighborhood of Riverside, California, United States. Due to its large parking area, it is the second-largest station served by Metrolink, after Union Station.La Sierra University is located a few miles from the station.

The station is owned by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC).

Riverside – La Sierra opened in 1995 along with the opening of the Inland Empire–Orange County (IEOC) Line.

In 2002, Riverside Public Utilities began building a solar covered carport at the station. The carport was completed in 2003.

Two Metrolink lines serve Riverside – La Sierra: the IEOC Line, which runs daily, and the 91 Line, which runs Monday through Friday.

Riverside Transit Agency Route 15 stops at the station, as does Orange County Transportation Authority Route 794.


RCTC developed plans in the 2000s to build a transit-oriented development (TOD) at the station, enlarge the parking lot, and build improved bus facilities. In 2010, Caltrans granted funds to increase parking capacity at the station. As of 2016, the parking expansion was in the public comment phase, and the TOD apartment complex was under construction.
