Jeld-Wen Field station is a light rail station on the MAX Blue and Red lines located in the Goose Hollow neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. It is named after the adjacent stadium, Jeld-Wen Field. The station, consisting of separate east and westbound platforms built into city sidewalks between SW 17th and SW 18th Avenues on SW Yamhill and SW Morrison Streets, opened on August 31, 1997. Originally named Civic Stadium station, it was renamed to PGE Park station in 2001 before taking its current name in 2011, following changes in its namesake's name.

Tracks split just outside the station on SW 18th Ave. into eastbound tracks on SW Yamhill St. westbound tracks on SW Morrison St. This split results in a transit mall east to SW 1st Ave.

The Morrison platform is at an angle to the street grid and has a regular side platform which fronts a small public plaza. There is also a second platform and storage track used for special events. The Yamhill platform takes the entire block and features unique seating shaped like punctuation marks. A large apartment complex occupies the space between the platforms.

This station primarily serves Jeld-Wen Field (formerly and still called by the locals Civic Stadium) and residential areas around W Burnside St. The station is in the Fare Zone 1.
