The 3 Street SW Station is a Calgary C-Train light rail station in Downtown Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The 3 Street SW platform is used by eastbound trains, with the nearest stations serving westbound trains being and the 4 Street SW station and the 1 Street SW station. The platforms is located on the south side of 7 Avenue S and is located within the free-fare zone serving both Routes 201 and 202.

The 3 Street W station, located between 3 Street and 2 Street SW and adjacent to The CORE/TD Square shopping centre opened on May 25, 1981, as part of Calgary's original LRT line from 8 Street W to Anderson. The original station was closed on April 20, 2009, and demolished immediately with the new station constructed in its place. The new station opened on March 12, 2010.[1][2]

Like all refurbished 7 Avenue platforms, the entire sidewalk slopes up to the station at both ends and the platform can handle 4-car trains.

On March 22, 2023, as part of an attempt to deal with crime along the C-Train system, 3rd Street SW Station, along with every other station between City Hall and Downtown West-Kerby Stations would have the lighting and cameras upgraded.[3][4]

According to data released by Calgary Transit, the 3 Street SW Station had an average weekday daily ridership of 16,300 in the year of 2007.[5]
