Sky Ridge station serves as a light rail stop located in Lone Tree, Colorado, operating within the Regional Transportation District (RTD) network throughout the Denver metropolitan area. Currently, it is on the route of the E Line, providing service to Union Station. Previously, the R Line extended to this station from Aurora, but due to limited passenger numbers in this emerging region and effects related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public transport, the R Line now ends at Lincoln station.

Positioned next to the Sky Ridge Medical Center and close to Interstate 25 and Sky Ridge Avenue, the station includes two side platforms and accommodates cyclists with ten bike racks. This facility was developed as part of the Southeast Rail Extension project, which added 2.3 miles of track reaching RidgeGate. Construction started in 2016 with an allocated budget of $223 million. Sky Ridge station officially began operations on May 17, 2019.
