8th & K station is a northbound-only SacRT light rail station in Downtown Sacramento, California. The station was built as part of the 2007 extension of the light rail system to Sacramento Valley Station. The station is located one block away from the St. Rose of Lima Park station, served by northbound Blue Line trains. There was previously a southbound station at 7th & K, but it was closed due to its close proximity to the 7th & Capitol station.

8th & K station serves the Golden 1 Center, nearby downtown office buildings and Downtown Commons (formerly Downtown Plaza), an entertainment and shopping complex that anchors the arena.
