Glenn station (also known as Glenn/Robert G Holderness station) is a side platformed SacRT light rail station in Folsom, California, United States. The station was opened on October 15, 2005, and is operated by the Sacramento Regional Transit District. It is served by the Gold Line. The station is located near the intersection of Glenn Drive and Folsom Boulevard. It serves primarily as a commuter stop, as it features a mid-sized parking lot.

In January 2024, Sacramento Regional Transit began construction to add a second track to the station to allow increased service frequency to the Historic Folsom station. The construction is ongoing as of October 2024.[5]

The station is named after Robert G. Holderness, a former mayor of Folsom.[6]
