Brookhaven/Oglethorpe—initially known as Brookhaven and displayed as Brookhaven/Oglethorpe Univ. on station signage—is an elevated metro rail station situated in Brookhaven, Georgia. It operates on the Gold Line within the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) network. Positioned approximately one mile to the south of Oglethorpe University, this station provides bus connections serving areas such as North Druid Hills, Toco Hills, North DeKalb Mall, the Peachtree Boulevard commercial corridor, and the Georgia Department of Labor offices. Beyond this station heading southward, the rail line crosses into Fulton County.
During the 2010s, there were initiatives to transform the vicinity around the station into a "city center" for Brookhaven, which would have included a combination of office spaces, retail establishments, civic amenities, and public areas. Nevertheless, these development plans were discontinued in 2017.

Development
In 2014, a collaborative proposal by MARTA and Brookhaven city officials aimed to establish a transit-oriented "city center" on the existing parking area. This envisioned project would have incorporated a blend of office buildings, retail outlets, and public gathering places. The initiative was ultimately halted in early 2017 following the mayor’s decision to pause rezoning efforts and withdraw tax incentives critical for the project's advancement.
