This article is about the Mexico City metro station, for other metro stations named General Anaya see: Metro General Anaya (disambiguation)

Metro General Anaya is a station on Line 2 of the Mexico City Metro system. It is located in the Coyoacán borough of Mexico City, directly south of the city centre on Calzada de Tlalpan, and right next to the Estudios Churubusco. It is a surface station.

The station logo shows a military officer standing next to a cannon, while the station is named after Gen. Pedro María Anaya, commander of the Mexican forces during the 1847 Battle of Churubusco of the Mexican-American War. The battle happened around the small monastery of Churubusco, located not far away from the station. The monastery was later turned into the Museum of the Foreign Invasions and still exhibits some of the artillery used during the battle.
