Metro Copilco is a station on the Mexico City Metro. Located in the Coyoacán borough, in the south of Mexico City, on Avenida Enríquez Ureña (Eje 10 Sur), it is the penultimate station on Line 3.

The station logo depicts an Olmec representation of a coiled water snake or dragon, the "God of Water". Copilco means "in the royal Crown", in Nahuatl.

Above the station's platforms are murals depicting paintings and art from ancient pre-Hispanic cultures, works by famous artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci, and Mexican art from José Guadalupe Posada, Diego Rivera and others. This station also has a cultural display.

Most of the passengers are students, headed for the nearby campus of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Metro Copilco is particularly close to the schools of medicine and dentistry.
