Virginia Beach Town Center is a planned light rail station on the Tide Light Rail line in Virginia Beach, Virginia, U.S., which is planned to open in 2019. The station will serve the Virginia Beach Town Center, where it receives its namesake. The station or stations, which has four to six possible locations, will be situated on former Norfolk Southern owned track which is now owned by the city. The proposed Constitution Drive station would serve as the eastern terminus of the second phase of the project. Eventual plans call for the light rail to be extended to the Oceanfront.

The Town Center area has six possible locations for light rail stations according to studies from Hampton Roads Transit and the City of Virginia Beach. Between two and three spots will be chosen once studies have been finished and if Virginia Beach officially approves the project.
