Zuidplein is an above-ground subway station in the south of the city of Rotterdam. It is part of Rotterdam Metro lines D and E.

The station opened on February 9, 1968, on the same date that the North-South Line (also formerly called Erasmus line), of which it is a part, was opened. It served as the southern terminus of the line until November 25, 1970, when a one-station extension to Slinge was opened.

Zuidplein station is located right next to a large shopping center which goes by the same name. Also Ahoy Rotterdam, a large indoor arena, is within walking distance of the station. Finally, one can use the major bus station located directly underneath the station to get on several local and interlocal buses.
