Fairbanks Street station is a light rail stop on the MBTA Green Line C branch in Brookline, Massachusetts, located in the median of Beacon Street. Fairbanks station has two side platforms serving the line's two tracks. It is not accessible, although a wheelchair lift allows accessible transfer between the two elevations of the two halves of Beacon Street at the station.

Track work in 2018–19, which included replacement of platform edges at several stops, triggered requirements for accessibility modifications at those stops.[2] Design work for Fairbanks Street and seven other C Branch stations was 15% complete by December 2022.[3] As of November 2023, construction is expected to take place from mid-2025 to spring 2026.[4]
