Lincoln Heights/Cypress Park is an elevated Metro Rail station on the Gold Line, located at Lacy Street and Ave 26. The station features a free park-and-ride lot, and a statue of Los Angeles' first municipal worker, a woman who worked as a water carrier for the community. Hence the name, it serves the Cypress Park and Lincoln Heights neighborhoods of Los Angeles.

Lincoln Heights/Cypress Park station is one of five Metro Gold Line stations that have side platforms.

During the construction and planning stages, Lincoln Heights/Cypress Park station was originally planned to be named Avenue 26 station, named for nearby Avenue 26. It was one of three stations to be renamed shortly before the lines opening.
