West Falls Church-VT/UVA is a Washington Metro station whose street address is 7840 Haycock Road in Fairfax County, Virginia on the Orange Line. It is one of only two stations in the system to have three tracks, the other being the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport station.

The station serves the suburban community of Falls Church and the Northern Virginia campuses of Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia, and while technically it has a street address, it is physically located in the median of Interstate 66 near Virginia State Route 7 (Leesburg Pike). The station is also the nearest to Tysons Corner, a major commercial area. The initialisms for the two college campuses were added to the station's name in 1999. Service began on June 7, 1986.

This is a major suburban transfer station, as many commuter buses that service communities near the Dulles Toll and Access Roads (Virginia State Route 267) connect to the Metro system at West Falls Church using a bus-only exit from the Access Road. These buses include Fairfax Connector to points within Fairfax including Reston and Herndon, D.C. Metrobus to Tysons Corner, Washington Flyer to Dulles International Airport, and Loudoun County Transit reverse commute routes to businesses including AOL and MCI and transfer points in Dulles.

The proposed Silver Line to Dulles via Tyson's Corner is planned to join the Orange Line just east of this station and is estimated to start operating in 2011.
