Metro Cuauhtémoc is a metro (subway) station on the Mexico City Metro. It is located at the northern extreme of Avenida Cuauhtémoc, in the Cuauhtémoc borough, in the centre of Mexico City.
The station logo depicts the head of an eagle. The station, avenue, and borough were all named after the Aztec Emperor Cuauhtémoc, whose name means "descending eagle" in Nahuatl.
This metro station is located near a number of landmarks, such as the up-market Roma and Juárez neighbourhoods and the elegant tree-lined boulevard that is Paseo de la Reforma. Also nearby are two museums, the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum and the Mexico City Wax Museum.
