Template:WMATA infobox |}} Friendship Heights is a Washington Metro station on the western half of the Red Line. It straddles the border of Washington, D.C. and Montgomery County, Maryland at the 5400 block of Wisconsin Avenue, NW; two of the five exits sit on the Maryland side of Western Avenue whereas the other three exit into the District.

The station serves the upscale neighborhoods of Chevy Chase and Friendship Heights. The area is a major retail shopping and broadcast media district.

The station also serves as a bus depot linking Montgomery County Transit's Ride-On bus system with the Washington Metro. It is directly adjacent to the Western Division Metrobus garage on 44th Street and Harrison Street, NW.

Service to Friendship Heights began on August 25, 1984 when the Red Line inaugurated service to Grosvenor.
