Rockridge station is a Bay Area Rapid Transit station located in the Rockridge district of Oakland, California. Located in the center median of the elevated State Route 24 west of the Caldecott Tunnel, the station has a single island platform serving two tracks.

Service at Rockridge commenced on May 21, 1973, after the construction of the Berkeley Hills Tunnel was completed.[3]

Thirteen BART stations, including Rockridge, did not originally have faregates for passengers using the elevator. In 2020, BART started a project to add faregates to elevators at these stations. The new faregate on the platform at Rockridge was installed in July 2022.[4]
