List of Rio de Janeiro metro stations

This is a list of stations on the underground railway system (Metrô Rio) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Nowadays, the system has two lines denominated numerically: broadly Linha 1 serves the south and central zones while Linha 2 serves the north. There used to be an interchange between them at Estácio Station, but now Linha 2 uses the rails of Linha 1 to get at Botafogo Station, closing interchange at Estácio.

Line 4 (yellow line) links West Zone, in the neighbourhood of Barra da Tijuca, to South Zone, in Ipanema.
