The Elmonica/Southwest 170th Avenue station is a light rail station on the MAX Blue Line in Washington County, Oregon. It is the 11th stop westbound on the Westside MAX.

The station has side platforms. To the northeast of the station is one of the facilities where MAX trains are stored and serviced, called Elmonica Yard, or "Elmo Yard" for short. As a result, most trains in the morning start here, and go west to Hillsboro's Hatfield Government Center station before heading to Gresham's Cleveland Avenue station, and service at the end of the day splits between terminating here or Merlo Road/Southwest 158th Avenue, and Hillsboro's Hatfield Government Center station and returning eastward to the yard.[1][2][3][4]
