Longfields Station is a Southwest Transitway station in the Longfields neighbourhood of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The transitway runs along the south side of the railway line southwest from Fallowfield Station towards Strandherd Station.

The station extends a pre-existing tunnel under the railroad to join the two communities of Longfields and Knollsbrook. It provides stairs, elevators and inclines up to the Transitway level. The architecture of the building is quite distinctive compared to most Transitway stations.

Interesting architecture:
Bronze sculptures created by Erin Robertson and Anna Williams entitled, Bellwether, were installed at the Longfield Transit Station in 2011. The artwork is composed of life-sized sculptures of four sheep and a border collie herding them across a green roof. Only one lone black sheep is on the loading platform where the public can touch and playfully interact with it.
