Martin Villa was a station on the Port Authority of Allegheny County's light rail network, located in Castle Shannon, Pennsylvania.

Martin Villa was one of eleven stops closed on June 25, 2012, as part of a system-wide consolidation effort.

History

The stop dated back to the PCC streetcar era, being at the transition between center street and off street reserved right of way.
