Anderson Station is a CTrain light rail station in Southwood, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It serves the south leg of the Red Line and it opened on May 25, 1981, and was the original southern terminus of the line. The station is located on the exclusive LRT right of way (adjacent to CPR ROW), 10.6 km (6.6 mi) south of the City Hall Interlocking.

The station consists of a centre-loading platform with mezzanine access at the South end and grade-level access at the North end. 1323 paved parking spaces are located on-site, as well as a 427 space overflow lot. The station is located just north of Anderson Road west of Macleod Trail. The station is located across from Southcentre Mall, accessible by a pedestrian bridge crossing Macleod Trail.

Construction of the Anderson station platform that was meant for three cars was expanded to accommodate four cars starting in June 2013, and was completed in the late fall of 2013.^[1]

The Anderson Shops and Garage, where the CTrain vehicles are maintained, is located here. CTrains operating on the NE line had to come up from the Anderson Garage every morning from the opening of the NE line in 1985 until the Oliver Bowen Maintenance Facility opened with McKnight–Westwinds station in 2008.

In 2005, the station registered and average transit of 11,300 boardings per weekday.^[2]
