The Monterrey Metro (Spanish: Sistema de Transporte Colectivo Metrorrey, generally referred to as just Metrorrey) is a fully grade-separated rapid transit system in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. It is the newest of Mexico's metro systems, with operation beginning in 1991, and one of only two rapid transit rail systems in Mexico. As of 2014, the system operated 40 high-floor electric trains, along a total system of 31 stations with a length of 32 kilometers (20 mi). The system's two lines transported approximately 170.6 million passengers in 2013, with a fourth quarter (Q4) 2013 monthly ridership average of 14,492,000, which corresponds to an average daily passenger load of 483,065 passengers in Q4 2013.

As of October 2014, Line 3 is under construction and expected to open eight new metro stations in March 2016. As of February 2015, Line 3 was on schedule and 50% completed.

The Monterrey Metro, officially known as Metrorrey has two lines with 31 stations.

Line 1, which opened on April 25, 1991, has 19 stations, runs through the center of the city from the north-west to the eastern part of the Monterrey Metropolitan Area. The line, which is 18.5 km long, runs parallel to the former 1887 Topo Chico tramline and is grade-separated as it runs on an elevated structure. A complete ride along this line takes about 27 minutes. Line 1 is linked to Line 2 at Cuauhtémoc station, located downtown.

Line 2 has 13 stations and is also fully grade-separated, partially on an aerial structure and partially subterranean. The first six-station segment, which opened on November 30, 1994, was 4.5 km long and runs underground. Construction on a US$ 200 million expansion of Line 2 began on August 8, 2005. The first segment of the expansion opened on October 31, 2007, and added another three stations to the line. The second segment of the expansion was inaugurated on October 9, 2008 by Nuevo León Governor Natividad González Parás and Mexican president Felipe Calderón, and added another four stations to the line. This last segment runs on an aerial structure in the center of Avenida Universidad. The completed 12.5-kilometer (7.8 mi) route runs from Sendero to the Macroplaza with a station at the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León.
