Metro Miguel Ángel de Quevedo is a station on the Mexico City Metro. It is located in Mexico City's southern Coyoacán borough, at the junction of Avenida Miguel Ángel de Quevedo and Avenida Universidad. It serves Line 3.

The station logo represents a tree. Its name comes from the nearby avenue, which was named in honor of Miguel Ángel de Quevedo, an engineer who founded the nearby Viveros de Coyoacán arboretum and nursery (parts of which are a publicly accessible park and a popular area for recreation). Apparently, this station was initially designed to have a third platform between of the other two, but it was never made operational, the design was changed, and today it is used by workers and for access to an electric substation. It serves Chimalistac, Santa Catarina and Romero de Terreros.

This station transfers to trolleybus Line "K1", which runs between the town of San Lorenzo Tezonco and the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México campus.
