Naylor Road is an island platformed Washington Metro station in Hillcrest Heights, Maryland, United States. The station was opened on January 13, 2001, and is operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). Providing service for only the Green Line, the station is located between Naylor Road, Branch Avenue and Suitland Parkway.

Groundbreaking for the final segment of the Green Line occurred on September 23, 1995,[2] and the station opened on January 13, 2001.[3] Its opening coincided with the completion of approximately 6.5 miles (10.5 km) of rail southeast of the Anacostia station and the opening of the Branch Avenue, Congress Heights, Southern Avenue and Suitland stations.[3] The station won an award from the Portland Cement Association for its use of concrete.[4]

It was also reported to be the code name for a high value target associated with the ambush in Nigeria on October 4, 2017.
