Ashburn is a planned Washington Metro station in Loudoun County, Virginia, United States, on the Silver Line. It will be located at the intersection of the SR-267/Dulles Greenway and SR 772.[2] It is scheduled to begin operation in 2020,[1] and will be the western terminus of the line. It will be the furthest station from the Washington city center, only 26.5 miles (42.6 km) by road from Keyes Gap, West Virginia. The current western terminus is Wiehle–Reston East station, completed in July 2014.[2]

In April 2015, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority approved the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors' name for the stop.[3]
