Somerset-Bridlewood is the current southern terminus of the South Line (Route 201) of the C-Train light rail system in Calgary, Alberta.

It was one of two new stops opened on June 28, 2004. The station is located along Macleod Trail, to serve the Somerset, Bridlewood and Sundance communities, as well as the nearby Bishop Obyrne High School and South Fish Creek Recreation Centre.

Two stub tracks are at the station, an indicator of a future extension to the Silverado development that is scheduled for an opening beyond 2023. [ [http://publicaccess.calgary.ca/lldm01/livelink.exe?func=ccpa.general&msgID=DegrrTereA&msgAction=Download 2007 West LRT Report] ]
