The Cuauhtémoc Station (Spanish: Estación Cuauhtémoc) is a station on the Monterrey Metro. It is located in the north end of Cuauhtémoc Avenue, in the north side of downtown Monterrey. It opened on April 25, 1991.

Cuauhtémoc station is the most important station on the Metrorrey System, as it serves as the only transfer between Line 1 and Line 2. In the transfer point between lines, this station has stores that range from clothing to mobile phones, it also features a photo gallery on the advancement of the Line 2 expansion works.

This station is named after Cuauhtémoc Avenue, and its logo represents a stylized headshot of Cuauhtémoc, an important Aztec ruler.

This station is accessible for people with disabilities.

In October 2008 after the inauguration of the extended Line 2 by President Felipe Calderón and other dignitaries, ridership on the Monterrey Metro system surged from 260,000 per day to 334,000 per day. Cuauhtémoc, San Nicolás, and Alameda were the stations that saw the greatest increase in passenger use and many riders were delayed before service adjustments could be made.
