McKernan/Belgravia Station is an LRT station built as part of the Edmonton Transit System's South LRT Expansion Project. The station, located between the Health Sciences/Jubilee Station and the South Campus/Fort Edmonton Park Station, provides service to the neighborhoods of Belgravia and McKernan.

The station is on the northwest corner of the intersection of 76 Avenue and 114 Street, and immediately across 114 Street from McKernan Elementary-Junior High School. A pedestrian underpass, included as part of the station design, allows passengers and other pedestrian traffic to easily cross 114 Street.

The station has a 123 metre long centre loading platform that can accommodate two five-car trains at the same time, one on each side of the platform. The platform is six metres wide, narrow by current Edmonton LRT design guidelines.

Originally, the proposed name for the station was the 76 Avenue Station; both the Belgravia Community League and the McKernan Community League wanted the name to reflect their communities. After much discussion by the McKernan Community League Historian, City Council voted to change the name to McKernan/Belgravia in October 2006.

McKernan/Belgravia is one of only six stations that have never been the terminus of the LRT system.

The station was officially opened on April 25, 2009, with regular service commencing on April 26, 2009.
