Highland is an MBTA Commuter Rail station in Boston, Massachusetts. It serves the Needham Line. It is located in the Bellevue Hill section of West Roxbury. It originally opened around 1855 on the Boston and Providence Railroad's West Roxbury Branch. The station has a mini-high platform for handicapped accessibility.

The MBTA expanded the parking lot in the early 1990s.[3]
