Watt/I-80 is a side platformed Sacramento RT light rail station in North Highlands, California, United States. The station was opened on March 12, 1987, is operated by the Sacramento Regional Transit District, and is the northern terminus of the Blue Line. The station is located in the median of Interstate 80 below Watt Avenue. Since the opening of the light rail system, Watt/I-80 was the terminus of the original alignment of the Watt/I-80–Downtown–Butterfield (later Mather Field/Mills) line until 2005 when RT reconfigured the light rail lines.

The station includes a park-and-ride and a bus transfer center. It is one of the busiest bus/light rail transfer points in the Sacramento Regional Transit District. It is also the only 2-level light rail station in the system: light rail, peak commute buses, and a Placer County Transit bus route to Auburn use the lower level in the I-80 median, while all daily routes use the Watt Avenue overpass on the upper level.
