Olympic Plaza and City Hall are stops in downtown Calgary on the city's C-Train light rail system. The Olympic Plaza stop (formerly named 1 Street Southeast until 1988, when it got its new name from the site of the awards ceremony for the 1988 Winter Olympics directly across from the station) is only used by westbound trains and the City Hall stop is used by eastbound trains. Platforms for the stations are located on the sides of 7th Avenue South.

Notable buildings located near the station include City Hall, Calgary Police Headquarters, the provincial court, the EPCOR Centre for the Performing Arts, the main branch of the Calgary Public Library, and Olympic Plaza.
