El Segundo station is an elevated light rail station on the K Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. It is located over El Segundo Boulevard, after which the station is named, near its intersection with Nash Street in El Segundo, California. It opened with the commencement of Green Line service on August 12, 1995.[5] The station has been served by the K Line since a restructuring in November 2024.

The station was initially named El Segundo Blvd/Nash St but was later simplified to El Segundo in 2003.[6][7]

The station sits on the northeastern corner of the Raytheon Intelligence & Space campus. It is also close to the Los Angeles Air Force Base, The Aerospace Corporation campus, and the future training facility for the Los Angeles Chargers.

The station is currently the only one on the original El Segundo Green Line alignment with a platform long enough to accommodate a three-car train. The remaining stations are planned to be lengthened by 2028 to accommodate longer three-car trains.[8][9]
