Buckeye–Woodhill Rapid Station is a station on the RTA Blue and Green Lines in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. It is located at the intersection of Woodhill Road, Buckeye Road and Shaker Boulevard.

The station comprises side platforms below grade west of the intersection. Two concrete stairways, one on the north from Buckeye Road and the second on the south from Woodhill Road, lead down to the platforms. There is a small parking lot north of the platforms off Buckeye Road.

The station opened on April 11, 1920 as Woodhill, when service commenced on the line west of Shaker Square to East 34th Street and via surface streets to downtown.

The station was located at the mouth of a cut over a mile in length from Shaker Square. The cut averages 25 feet (7.6 m) in depth, but just before Buckeye–Woodhill it is up to 40 feet (12 m) deep, with a 2.44 percent incline down from the Shaker Square (the steepest grade on the line). The line was constructed with a tunnel under the intersection of Buckeye and Woodhill Roads, which was built without disturbing the automobile and streetcar traffic above. The location of the tunnel dictated the placement of the line.
