Longwood Medical Area is a stop on the E branch of the MBTA's Green Line in the Mission Hill neighborhood of Boston, MA. It is the named for the adjacent Longwood Medical Area, which is the home of Harvard Medical School, Children's Hospital Boston, and Brigham and Women's Hospital. (Brigham Circle (MBTA station), which is one stop later, is actually closer to Harvard's Medical School and School of Public Health.) Colleges located near the stop include Wentworth Institute of Technology, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, and the Massachusetts College of Art. It is also the closest Green Line stop to the famous Boston Latin School.

Note that this station should not be confused with the similarly named Longwood station on the D branch of the Green Line. That station is located across the Riverway at the opposite end of the Longwood Medical and Academic Area, a cluster of academic and medical facilities that lie along Longwood Avenue.
