The Nicollet Mall station is a light rail station on the Hiawatha Line in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is the third stop southbound.

This station is located on 5th Street South, between Nicollet Mall and Marquette Avenue in Minneapolis. This is a center-platform station with one traffic lane to the south (westbound) of the platform. Service began at this station when the Hiawatha Line opened on June 26, 2004.

The Nicollet Mall platform is probably the most heavily-used station on the whole line, as it is closest to the major buildings of downtown^{[citation needed]}. To reflect the tall buildings of the city's central business district, the platform's design incorporates tall steel columns along the center and a curving metal roof.
