Brentwood station is a CTrain light rail station in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The station opened on August 30, 1990, as part of a 1.1 km (0.68 miles) extension of the Northwest Line (Route 201) and was the terminus station until December 14, 2003. Located 6.2 km Northwest of the 7 Avenue & 9 Street SW interlocking in the median of Crowchild Trail, to the West of Charleswood Drive. The station serves Brentwood and Varsity.

Pedestrian overpasses connect the neighbourhoods, park and ride lot, and bus terminal to the station. Inside the station two escalators, a set of stairs, and an elevator provide access down to the platform. The park and ride lot provides 1381 spaces and is located on the South side of Crowchild Trail.

In the summer of 2011, the platform was extended to the North to accommodate future four-car trains as part of Calgary Transit's platform extension program. It allowed for operation of four-car CTrains starting in 2014 at the station.

In fall of 2020, the station underwent renovations on its pedestrian bridges. The renovations included adding a non-slip surfaces to the bridges, as well as to the stairs, which also included a reflective plate. The replacement of the handrails and guardrails was also done, as the original railings had begun to age. New lighting as well as upgrades was also done on the stairs, ramps and pedestrian bridges. The projects is anticipated to be completed in the winter of 2021.
