Church and 27th Street is a light rail stop on the Muni Metro J Church line, located in the Noe Valley neighborhood of San Francisco, California. The station opened with the line on August 11, 1917. The stop has no platforms, trains stop at marked poles before crossing 27th Street and passengers cross a vehicle travel lane on Church Street to board trains. The stop is not accessible.

In March 2014, Muni released details of the proposed implementation of their Transit Effectiveness Project (later rebranded MuniForward), which included a variety of stop changes for the J Church line. Under that plan, bulb-outs would be built to serve as platforms for the stop.[2] A more limited preliminary project announced in November 2019 was to include some modifications to the stop.[3] In October 2024, the SFMTA board approved plans to relocate the stop one block south to 28th Avenue in conjunction with the addition of stop signs there. The stop was planned to be moved – along with the stop at Clipper moving to 26th – by the end of 2024.[4][5]
