Theater District/South 9th Street was a light rail station on Link light rail's T Line in Tacoma, Washington, United States. The station officially opened for service on August 22, 2003; it was located at the northern end of downtown and named for the several nearby performing arts venues.[1]

The station closed on August 1, 2022, as part of work to connect the T Line with its extension to the Hilltop neighborhood.[2] In 2023, another station will open two blocks north, adjacent to the Old City Hall building.[3][4]
