Smith Lands is a station on the METRORail Red Line in Houston, Texas (USA). The station is located south of the Texas Medical Center at the intersection of Greenbriar Drive and Colonnade Drive; Old Spanish Trail crosses Greenbriar Drive approximately one block south of the station.

Smith Lands Station feeds commuter traffic into the Texas Medical Center area, and services the adjacent Smith Lands commuter parking facility as well as several nearby apartment and condominium complexes. Other facilities located nearby include Texas Woman's Hospital, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center's Proton Therapy Center (see also: proton therapy) and office buildings serving several oil companies.

Smith Lands Station and the attached commuter parking facility are also used occasionally as part of an off-site event parking site for Houston Texans football games and the annual Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo as well as major concert, sporting and other events taking place at Reliant Park, which is located 0.8 miles to the south next to Reliant Park Station.

There is talk of building a parking garage, and using the surface lots as a redevelopment project, including residential units, office, and possibly a hotel.
