Kelana Jaya LRT station is a light rapid transit (LRT) station on the LRT Kelana Jaya Line. It was the former western terminus for passenger services on the line, and hence, is the namesake of the LRT line. It is the start of Rapid KL's LRT Extension Project which extended the current terminus to Putra Heights.
The station is located beside the southbound carriageway of the Damansara–Puchong Expressway (LDP) between exits 1108 and 1109 in the SS4 neighbourhood of Petaling Jaya, which forms part of the suburb of Kelana Jaya, and is connected to an overhead crossing bridge for pedestrians to cross the highway to Taman Mayang (SS25).
Located nearby are the neighbourhoods of SS2, Kelana Jaya (SS4 and SS5), Taman Mayang (SS25) and Taman Megah (SS24). As the station is on a major expressway, it is well served by bus connections that take passengers to the areas of Petaling Jaya Utara (PJU or Northern Petaling Jaya), Tropicana, Subang Jaya, Bandar Sunway and Putrajaya. It is also a local taxi hub.
