Downers Grove-Fairview Avenue Station or Fairview Avenue Station is one of three railroad stations on Metra's BNSF Railway Line in Downers Grove, Illinois. The station is 20.3 miles (32.7 km) from Union Station, the east end of the line.[1] Though its official address is on Fairview Avenue (hence the name) and Burlington Avenue, the main parking lot is on the south side of the tracks off of nearby Second Street. All parking lots, including the main parking lot are managed by the Village of Downers Grove.

Fairview Avenue station has a colonial barn-type design more akin to railroad stations of the Northeastern United States, such as those on the Long Island Rail Road. Currently no buses run near the station.
