Se denomina West Coast Express al servicio de tren suburbano de Vancouver y su área metropolitana en British Columbia, Canadá. Inaugurado en 1995, consta de una línea que vincula Mission, Port Haney, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, y Port Moody con la estación Waterfront, en el centro de Vancouver donde se combina con el SkyTrain, metro de la ciudad y el SeaBus, el servicio de ferryes de la ciudad.

Existen planes para crear una nueva estación en Albion, entre Mission y Port Haney.

Cada tren consta de una locomotora diésel-eléctrica General MotorsEMD F59PHI y entre cuatro y nueve vagones tipo Bombardier. Cada vagón puede transportar un máximo de 144 personas. Al igual que muchos trenes de cercanías, el West Coast Express utiliza el sistema de tirar-empujar, en lugar de mover la locomotora al otro extremo del tren, es simplemente controlado remotamente desde una segunda cabina en el último vagón, permitiendo al tren correr "hacia atrás". Los vagones incluyen lavabos, cafetería, accesibilidad para silla de ruedas y espacio para bicicletas.
