The Sunset Transit Center is a light rail station on the MAX Blue and Red lines in Washington County, Oregon. It is the 5th stop westbound on the Westside MAX. This is the first stop after the Roberston Tunnel under Portland's West Hills. The station also has a pedestrian bridge over the U.S. Route 26 (US 26).

The transit center's MAX platforms are set in an open cut, shortly after the east entrance to an unnamed 600 foot long tunnel to the shoulder of Oregon Route 217, making the station one of only two underground stations in the MAX system. Bus service and a large park and ride lot are located around the top of the station pit.
