39th Street/UC Davis Health is a side platform station on the Sacramento RT light rail system, situated in the Elmhurst area of Sacramento, California. Managed by the Sacramento Regional Transit District, it commenced operations on July 14, 1994. The station serves the Gold Line and is positioned close to the intersection of 39th Street and Highway 50.

Although initially included in the transit network plans, this station along with the 48th Street station faced delays in construction due to opposition from local residents in 1987. Both stations eventually opened as infill stations in July 1994, following increased community approval after the transit system's successful implementation.

In October 2019, a naming agreement was reached between RT and UC Davis Medical Center, leading to the renaming of the station as 39th Street/UC Davis Health to highlight its close location to the medical facility.
