Mather Field/Mills is a side platformed Sacramento RT light rail station in Rancho Cordova, California, United States. The station was opened on September 6, 1998, and is operated by the Sacramento Regional Transit District. As part of the Gold Line, it has service to Downtown Sacramento, California State University, Sacramento, Gold River and Folsom. The station is located near the intersection of Mather Field Road and Folsom Boulevard, is served by various RT bus routes and serves the nearby Mather Air Force Base.

When the station opened in 1998, it replaced Butterfield as the eastern terminus of the Gold Line and was the first extension to the original network.[1] It would remain the terminus through June 11, 2004, when the line was extended to Sunrise and eventually all the way to Folsom.[2]
