Kent Street station is a light rail surface stop on the MBTA Green Line C branch, located in the median of Beacon Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. The two side platforms are staggered on opposite sides of the Kent Street / Powell Street grade crossing; the outbound platform is to the east and the inbound platform to the west. Kent Street is not accessible.

Track work in 2018–19, which included replacement of platform edges at several stops, triggered requirements for accessibility modifications at those stops. As of May 2021, the MBTA expects construction at Kent Street and seven other C Branch stations to begin in 2023–24.[2]
