Wilshire/Fairfax station is an underground rapid transit facility currently being built as part of the D Line within the Los Angeles Metro Rail network. Situated in the Miracle Mile district of Los Angeles at the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue, this station is anticipated to commence operations in the fall of 2025. It will serve as the second westbound stop following Wilshire/Western station. This development is a component of the D Line Extension initiative, which aims to enhance public transportation options along Wilshire Boulevard.

This station represents one of two possible interchange locations for the K Line Northern Extension towards Hollywood, with the other candidate being Wilshire/La Brea station.

Page Museum, Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, and the La Brea Tar Pits pavilions. These institutions collectively form the "Museum Row" corridor along Wilshire Boulevard.
