Magoun Square is a planned station on the MBTA Green Line "D" Branch in Somerville, Massachusetts.[1][2] Lowell Street will consist of one island platform, which will serve the "D" Branch's two tracks.

Originally announced as Lowell Street station, the MBTA announced in December 2016 that the opening would be delayed until 2021 in the wake of cutbacks, and that the name of the station would be changed to Magoun Square.[3]
