The Nicollet Mall station is a light rail station on the METRO Blue Line, Green Line and proposed METRO Orange Line in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

This station is located on 5th Street South, between Nicollet Mall and Marquette Avenue in Minneapolis. This is a center-platform station with one traffic lane to the south (westbound) of the platform. Service began at this station when the Blue Line opened on June 26, 2004. The Orange Line will begin using this station when it begins service in 2019 and plans are to have the proposed Minneapolis Streetcar System's Nicollet Ave/Central Ave, Broadway/Washington Ave and Chicago Ave lines use this station.

The Nicollet Mall platform is probably the most heavily used station on the whole line, as it is closest to the major buildings of downtown. To reflect the tall buildings of the city's central business district, the platform's design incorporates tall steel columns along the center and a curving metal roof.
