Griggs Street station is a light rail station on the MBTA Green Line B branch, located between the southbound travel lanes and frontage road of Commonwealth Avenue at Griggs Street in Allston, Boston, Massachusetts. The station is not accessible. It has two side platforms, located on the near sides of a pedestrian crossing, to serve the line's two tracks. The station was called Griggs Street/Long Avenue until around 2017.[4][5]

Track work in 2018–19, which included replacement of platform edges at several stops (not including Griggs Street), triggered requirements for accessibility modifications at those stops. Planning for modifications to five B Branch stops began in 2021.[6] In 2024, Griggs Street and the other remaining non-accessible B Branch stops were added to the project. As of December 2024, construction is expected to take place from fall 2025 to mid-2027.[7][8]
