Gómez Farías metro station is a station of the Mexico City Metro in Venustiano Carranza, Mexico City. It is an underground station with two side platforms serving Line 1 (the Pink Line) between Boulevard Puerto Aéreo and Zaragoza metro stations. The station was inaugurated on 4 September 1969, and opened the following day, with westward service toward Chapultepec station and eastward service toward Zaragoza station.

Gómez Farías station services the colonias (neighborhoods) of Federal and Gómez Farías along Calzada Ignacio Zaragoza. The station was named after the neighborhood, which itself honors Valentín Gómez Farías, the seventh president of Mexico (serving intermittently from 1833 to 1847). The station's pictogram depicts a representation of the Mexican Constitution of 1857, a document promoted by Gómez Farías during his tenure as president of Congress.

The facilities are accessible to people with disabilities as it has elevators, escalators and tactile pavings. In 2019, the station had an average daily ridership of 28,385 passengers, ranking it the 48th busiest station in the network and the 11th busiest of the line. Gómez Farías metro station was closed from July 2022 to October 2023 due to modernization works on the tunnel and the line's technical equipment.
