Johns Hopkins Hospital station is a subterranean stop on the Metro SubwayLink located in Baltimore, Maryland. Positioned next to Johns Hopkins Hospital, it serves as the terminus of the transit line.

This station commenced operations in 1995 during the third expansion phase of Baltimore's Metro system. It offers two entrances at street level along with a dedicated access point directly connecting to the hospital, which avoids street-level entry. Among Baltimore Metro stations, it ranks as the second largest, surpassed only by Charles Center.

Inside the station, passengers can view Lost in the Cosmos, a porcelain collage mural created by artist Peggy Fox. This artwork was commissioned through a Maryland Transit Authority open competition held in 1987 and was completed by 1992.

Additionally, the station gained recognition as a filming location for interior sequences of the 1997 Homicide: Life on the Street episode titled "Subway." Exterior scenes for that episode were shot at Shot Tower station. During filming, station signage was temporarily altered to display a fictional "Inner Harbor" stop.
