Arbutus is an upcoming subterranean station planned for the Millennium Line within Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit network. Positioned at the intersection of West Broadway and Arbutus Street in Vancouver's Kitsilano district, it is designed to serve as the Millennium Line's western endpoint once operational. Initially anticipated to open in 2025, the station's inauguration has faced two postponements, with the current expected opening date set for late 2027.

This station will provide a connection to the Arbutus Greenway and will become the new eastern terminus for the 99 B-Line bus service, incorporating a dedicated bus loop for improved transit flow. Travelers aiming to reach the University of British Columbia (UBC) will need to transfer to the 99 B-Line bus at Arbutus to continue westbound along Broadway. Although there have been plans to extend the Millennium Line directly to UBC, funding had not been secured as of 2020. By early 2021, discussions regarding potential federal financial support for this extension were still underway.
