Willesden Green tube station is a London Underground station at Willesden. It is on the Jubilee Line, between Dollis Hill and Kilburn. Metropolitan Line trains pass through the station, but do not stop. It is on the boundary between Travelcard Zone 2 and Zone 3.

The station opened on 24 November 1879 on the Metropolitan Railway (later the Metropolitan Line). From 20 November 1939 it also served the Stanmore branch of the Bakerloo Line, with Met services being withdrawn the following year. It transferred to the Jubilee Line in 1979. The station still has platforms on the Metropolitan line, but these are not in regular use and are usually locked to passengers. Apart from a few early-morning and late-evening services, they only see services when there are no services on the Jubilee line.
