Metro Deportivo 18 de Marzo is a station on the Mexico City Metro, Mexico. It is located in Mexico City's Gustavo A. Madero borough.

The name of the station refers to the adjacent Deportivo 18 de Marzo sports complex, and its logo represents a player of a pre-Columbian ball game.

This station was previously known as Metro Basílica. Its logo and name were given from Basílica de Guadalupe Roman Catholic shrine, located one kilometre east of this station; when the Metro authorities changed the name of Metro La Villa to Metro La Villa-Basílica (only two blocks far from Basílica de Guadalupe) they also did with Metro Basílica.

Metro Deportivo 18 de Marzo was originally to be named Metro Montevideo (from nearby Avenida Montevideo), according to early plans for Line 3, so this station has changed its name twice.

This station serves Tepeyac Insurgentes neighbourhood.
