Santolan LRT Station is a station on the Manila Light Rail Transit System Line 2 (LRT-2). Santolan Station is one of the many elevated stations that can be found on the line. The station is located on the stretch of the Marcos Highway and is named after the near barangay in Pasig City, Barangay Santolan. However, the compound is located clearly inside the territory of Marikina City. During the line's planning stages, the station's working name was M. A. Roxas, due to its proximity to M. A. Roxas Street in Marikina City. A nearby overpass on Marcos Highway is adjacent to SM City Marikina. Another overpass serves as the main crossing for pedestrians coming from Marcos Highway's westward lane and from those coming from a small street that leads to Marikina City Proper.

The station is the eastern terminus of the LRT-2 and is the first and last station for trains headed to and from Recto respectively. The Santolan Depot, where the trains of the line are cleaned and maintained, is also near the station, as well as the line's Operations Control Center (OCC), all are located in Marikina City.

This is the only station on this line with an island platform.
