Tunney's Pasture is a station on the transitway in Ottawa, Ontario. It is located at the Tunney's Pasture government office complex, on Scott Street at Holland Avenue.

The transitway in the area is in a below-grade 'trench' parallel to Scott Street. Each platform has an elevator and stairway to the ground level above; the two sides are connected by an enclosed pedestrian bridge, and the ground-level station area also has platforms for local buses.
