Dunn Loring is a Washington Metro station in Fairfax County, Virginia on the Orange Line. The station is physically located in both Dunn Loring and Merrifield, but its official address is in Vienna. The station is located in the median of Interstate 66 at Gallows Road, just outside the Capital Beltway, and is accessed via a footbridge over the eastbound lanes.
The station opened on June 7, 1986. Its opening coincided with the completion of 9.1 miles (14.6 km) of rail west of the Ballston station and the opening of the East Falls Church, West Falls Church and Vienna stations. By 1993, officials in Fairfax City were looking to add "Merrifield" to the station name. In 1998, the station name was changed to "Dunn Loring-Merrifield". On November 3, 2011, the station was returned to its original name, with "Merrifield" listed as a subtitle.
