Brent Cross tube station is a London Underground station located on Highfield Avenue in the Golders Green area of north west London.

The station is on the Edgware branch of the Northern Line, between Hendon Central and Golders Green stations, and in Travelcard Zone 3. The Brent Cross shopping centre is some distance away. However it can be reached through a series of footpaths or London Buses route 210 that stops outside the station on Highfield Avenue.

The station was designed by architect Stanley Heaps and opened as Brent on the 19 November 1923, the first station on the extension of what was then known as the Hampstead & Highgate Line through undeveloped rural areas to Edgware. The extension had first been planned prior to World War I when the station had been due to be called Woodstock. It was renamed from Brent to its current name on the 20 July 1976 opening of the shopping centre.
