8th & O station is a split light rail station in the SacRT light rail system, served by all three lines: Blue, Gold and Green Lines. It is located at the intersection of 8th and O Streets in Downtown Sacramento, California, United States, with the split platforms located on each side of 8th Street where the line splits into one-way couplets. The station is near the historical and cultural district of the city.

Effective July 15, 2022, the station's west platform (for trains traveling toward the 8th and Capitol Station) will be closed for approximately three years due to major renovation construction of the California Department of Water Resources building, located at 1416 9th Street. The construction is estimated to be completed in October 2025.[3]
