Longwood Medical Area (signed as Longwood) is a light rail stop on the MBTA Green Line "E" Branch, located in the Mission Hill neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It is the named for the adjacent Longwood Medical Area, which is the home of Harvard Medical School, Children's Hospital Boston, and Brigham and Women's Hospital. (Brigham Circle, which is one stop further outbound, is actually closer to most of the buildings of Harvard Medical School and School of Public Health.)

Colleges located near the stop include Wentworth Institute of Technology, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, School of the Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA), and the Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt). It is also the closest Green Line stop to Boston Latin School.

The station was renamed from Longwood-Hospitals to Longwood Medical Area in the 1980s.[1] The similarly named Longwood station on the D branch of the Green Line is located across the Riverway at the opposite end of the Longwood Medical and Academic Area, a cluster of academic and medical facilities that lie along Longwood Avenue.

Longwood Medical Area's 3,813 daily boardings make it the busiest surface stop on the Green Line.[2] The station was made handicapped accessible along with four other E Branch surface stations in a renovation project completed on January 13, 2003.[3]

The station is served by two MBTA Bus routes:
