Fish Creek-Lacombe is a stop on the South Line (Route 201) of the C-Train light rail system in Calgary, Alberta.

It was one of two new stops to open on October 9, 2001. The station was, until June 28, 2004, the southern terminus of the South Line. The station, located between Macleod Trail and Millrise Boulevard, is designed with the former Midnapore train station in mind, being an active replica that is used as part of Calgary's Light Rail Transit system.
