Chinook is a stop on the South Line (Route 201) of the C-Train light rail system in Calgary, Alberta.

The station is a three-block walk from the Chinook Centre shopping centre, Calgary's largest. A zero-fare bus provides transportation to the mall from the station. A 320 space parking facility is also available for park and ride commuters.

It serves the communities of Windsor Park, Meadowlark Park, Kingsland, Calgary as well as extensive industrial and commercial areas located just to the east of Macleod Trail, such as Manchester and Fairview Industrial.

In 2005, the station registered an average transit of 12,400 boardings per weekday.^[1]

The sound of birds coming from the speaker on the platform is a mixture of raptor and owl calls to scare away pigeons.
