Riverway station functions as a light rail stop on the MBTA Green Line E branch, positioned at the intersection of South Huntington Avenue and Huntington Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts, just to the east of Brookline Village. The station derives its name from the adjacent Riverway parkway and serves as the nearest surface-level connection point between the Green Line's D and E branches; Brookline Village station is located approximately westward.

Located along a street running section, Riverway does not have exclusive platforms—riders wait on sidewalks that are shared with stops for route 39 buses and must cross the street to board the trains. This setup means the station is not accessible for passengers with disabilities.

In 2021, the MBTA revealed plans to modernize the Heath Street–Brigham Circle stretch of the E branch by installing accessible platforms in place of current stops. These new platforms will be designed to accommodate two Type 10 vehicles simultaneously. Design efforts commenced in July 2023, focusing on Riverway and Mission Park stations. As of December 2024, design completion is anticipated by late 2026, with construction projected to occur between 2027 and 2029.
