Taraval and 15th Avenue is a light rail stop on the Muni Metro L Taraval line, located in the Parkside neighborhood of San Francisco, California. The station opened with the first section of the L Taraval line on April 12, 1919.

Like many stations on the line, 15th Avenue and Taraval has no platforms; trains stop at marked poles before the cross street, and passengers cross parking lanes to board. In March 2014, Muni released details of the proposed implementation of their Transit Effectiveness Project (later rebranded MuniForward), which included a variety of stop changes for the L Taraval line. Transit bulbs would be added to the 15th Avenue and Taraval stop to allow passenger to board without crossing auto traffic; the inbound platform would be moved around the corner onto Taraval. On September 20, 2016, the SFMTA Board approved the L Taraval Rapid Project. Construction will occur from 2018 to 2020. As proposed in 2014, a bulb will be added at the existing outbound stop location, with a second bulb at the relocated inbound stop.
