New England Medical Center is a metro station located along Boston's Orange Line subway and Silver Line bus rapid transit system.

It is named for Tufts-New England Medical Center (now Tufts Medical Center) and is built under a wing of the facility that crosses over Washington Street in downtown Boston between Kneeland Street in Chinatown and the Massachusetts Turnpike.

It was built during the late 1960s during what were to be the early stages of the abandoned Interstate 695 project, in anticipation of the future abandonment of the Washington Street Elevated, but was not put into service until nearly 20 years later, in 1987.
