Fernando was a former Barcelona metro station. The station site is located on line L3 between the existing stations of Liceu and Drassanes, and under the Rambla boulevard.[1][2]

The station opened in 1946 as the terminus of a short extension of L3 from Liceu station. It had a single track and 61-metre (200 ft) long platform, and was accessed by a entrance at the junction of the Ramblas and Carrer de Ferran. The station was closed in 1968 to permit the extension of the line to Drassanes station.[1][2]
