East Falls Church is a Washington Metro station in Arlington, Virginia on the Orange Line.

The station serves the suburban community of Falls Church and is located in the median of Interstate 66 near Lee Highway (U.S. Route 29). Service began on June 7, 1986. East Falls Church has a parking lot with 422 spaces on the Lee Highway side of the station.

The planned Silver Line will tentatively begin service in 2013. It will run between Stadium-Armory in the east, following the Orange Line route until it reaches this station, where it will branch off towards the northwest, eventually reaching Dulles International Airport. The station will then become a transfer point.
