Dr. Santos station, also known as Sucat station or Dr. Santos Avenue station, is an elevated Light Rail Transit (LRT) station located on the LRT Line 1 (LRT-1) system in Parañaque. The station is part of Phase 1 of the Line 1 Cavite Extension Project, which opened to the public on November 16, 2024. It is situated in between Dr. Santos Avenue, CAVITEX–C-5 Link, and C-5 Extension, a few hundred meters behind SM City Sucat. The station is named after Dr. Santos Avenue, which in turn, is named Arcadio Santos, a former governor of Rizal who was a native of the present-day city that was part of the province. It is the current southern terminus of the line, pending the opening of the extension's Phase 2 towards Niog in Bacoor expected in 2031.[2]

The station is one of the five LRT-1 stations in Parañaque; the others are Redemptorist–Aseana, MIA Road, PITX, and Ninoy Aquino Avenue.
