Largo Town Center is an island platformed Washington Metro station in Largo, Maryland, United States.
 The station was opened on December 18, 2004, and is operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA).
 Providing service for the Blue and Silver Lines, it is the eastern terminus of the Blue and Silver Lines, and serves the town of Largo and The Boulevard at the Capital Centre.
 In December 2012, Largo Town Center was one of five stations added to the route of the Silver Line, which was originally supposed to end at the Stadium–Armory station, but was extended into Prince George's County, Maryland to Largo Town Center due to safety concerns about a pocket track just past Stadium–Armory.
 Therefore, Largo Town Center is also the eastern terminus of the Silver Line, which began service on July 26, 2014.
 It is the first and so far only station in Prince George's County outside the Capital Beltway, and is located about a mile from FedExField, the home of the Washington Redskins.
