Zapotitlán metro station is a station of the Mexico City Metro in the town of Santiago Zapotitlán and in the colonia (neighborhood) of Conchita Zapotitlán, in Tláhuac, Mexico City. It is an elevated station with two side platforms, served by Line 12 (the Golden Line), between Nopalera and Tlaltenco metro stations. The station's pictogram features the glyph of Santiago Zapotitlán, which shows a toothed sapote tree with three branches. The station was opened on 30 October 2012, on the first day of service between Tláhuac and Mixcoac metro stations.

The facilities are accessible to people with disabilities as there are elevators, tactile pavings and braille signage plates and there is a bicycle parking station. In 2019, the station had an average daily ridership of 13,683 passengers, making it the 13th busiest station on the line. Since it was opened, Zapotitlán 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.
