Tlaltenco metro station is a Mexico City Metro station in Tláhuac, Mexico City. It is an at-grade station with one island platform, served by Line 12 (the Golden Line), between Zapotitlán and Tláhuac metro stations. Tlaltenco metro station serves the town of San Francisco Tlaltenco, from which it receives its name. The station's pictogram features a stone gateway known as La Puerta (lit. transl."the Gateway"). The station was opened on 30 October 2012, on the first day of the Mixcoac–Tláhuac service.

The facilities are accessible to people with disabilities as there are elevators, tactile pavings and braille signage plates. In 2019, the station had an average daily ridership of 3,492 passengers, making it the 192nd busiest station in the network and the least busy of the line. Since it was opened, Tlaltenco metro station has had multiple incidents, including a 20-month closure in 2014 due to structural faults found in the elevated section of the line, a closure caused by the 19 September 2017 earthquake, and the subsequent collapse of the track near Olivos station in 2021.
