The Montebello Avenue and 19th Avenue station, immediately south of the well-known major arterial Bethany Home Road, is also known as Phoenix Christown Spectrum Mall Station and is the western terminus station on the METRO light rail line in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. A large park and ride lot is located on the east side of 19th Avenue.

Note that although this station is easily accessible from the Bethany Home Road exit of Interstate 17, there is currently no signage from the highway to direct travelers here. Curiously, METRO never mentions Bethany Home Road when discussing this station, referring to it only as "Montebello." Montebello here is a one-lane wide, one-block long cul-de-sac residential street that exists only on the west side of 19th Avenue; Montebello is not shown on most maps.
