University of Houston–Downtown Station is a station on the METRO Red Line in Houston, Texas (USA) and is the northernmost of the Red Line.

The station—located on top of the Main Street viaduct in Downtown—serves the nowrap|University of Houston–Downtown.

At the station, the passengers load and unboard the train. The operator goes to the other operator's cab, (the train has more than one cab, one for each travel of direction). After about a 5 minute layover the train departs UH–Downtown. The train waits for the next train to pull into the other track before departing.

This station is unique because it is located on top of the Main Street viaduct. Due to space limitations, it has an extremely narrow platform.
