The Willow Creek/Southwest 185th Avenue station is a light rail station on the MAX Blue Line in Hillsboro, Oregon. It is the 12th stop westbound on the Westside MAX. The station was originally conceived as the western terminus of the Westside MAX, but the line was extended farther west into Hillsboro, due to population growth occurring at the time the line was being planned.

Located at the station is a setting of cherry trees and stone benches. The artwork is based on a literacy theme, and when MAX was being built, a branch of Washington County's library system was planned to be built there. The plans were canceled, however. Located at the station is a large park and ride lot.
