Harriet Tubman Square station—previously known as Washington Park—is a light rail stop within the Newark Light Rail network. Situated in Downtown Newark, New Jersey, it lies on the southbound side of Broad Street, positioned between Bridge and Lombardy Streets, directly next to Harriet Tubman Square. This station exclusively serves trains traveling southbound, while northbound services are accommodated by the nearby Atlantic Street station. The facility commenced operations on July 17, 2006, coinciding with the extension reaching Newark Broad Street station.

The station is distinguished by two public artworks created by Willie Cole, an African American conceptual and visual artist originally from Newark.
