Littleton–Mineral station (sometimes styled as Littleton•Mineral or referred to simply as Mineral station) is a RTD light rail station in Littleton, Colorado, United States. The station was opened on July 14, 2000, and is served by the Regional Transportation District.[3][4] The station sees service on the C Line to Union Station. Currently, Mineral station serves as the southern terminus for the C Line. However, RTD plans to extend this line south to Highlands Ranch as a part of the agency's FasTracks expansion plan.[5][6]

Littleton-Mineral is located at the northeast corner of the intersection between US 85 (Santa Fe Drive) and Mineral Avenue. The station is situated on a berm overlooking the intersection. The station's bus bays and parking lot are located across US 85, and are accessible via a pedestrian bridge.

When opened, the station saw service on the C Line, and the D Line to 30th & Downing station. However, the D Line's northern terminus was changed to 18th & California station in January 2018 and the C Line was suspended on January 10, 2021. The C Line would then be eliminated in January 2023 before being revived in June 2026, with the D Line being eliminated at that time.[7]
