'''Potrero metro station'''{{efn|{{lang|es|Estación del Metro Potrero}}. Spanish pronunciation: {{IPA|es|poˈtɾeɾo||Es-mx-Potrero.wav}}. The name of the station [[Literal translation|literally]] means "Paddock" in Spanish.}} is a [[metro station|station]] of the [[Mexico City Metro]] along [[Avenida de los Insurgentes]], in [[Gustavo A. Madero, Mexico City|Gustavo A. Madero]], [[Mexico City]]. It is an [[At-grade railway|at-grade station]] with one [[island platform]] serving [[Mexico City Metro Line 3|Line&nbsp;3]] (the Olive Line) between [[Deportivo 18 de Marzo metro station|Deportivo 18&nbsp;de Marzo]] and [[La Raza metro station|La&nbsp;Raza]] metro stations. Potrero metro station was inaugurated on 1&nbsp;December 1979, providing northward service toward [[Indios Verdes metro station|Indios Verdes]] and southward service toward [[Hospital General metro station (Mexico City)|Hospital General]].

The station services the {{lang|es|[[Colonia (Mexico)|colonias]]}} (neighborhoods) of Capultitlan and Guadalupe Insurgentes. The station and its surrounding area are named this way because there used to be a [[hippodrome]] and Potrero's [[pictogram]] features the silhouette of a horse head behind a fence to reference a [[paddock]]. In 2019, Potrero station had an average daily ridership of 17,308 passengers, ranking it the 106th busiest station in the network and the third least used on the line. The facilities are partially [[Accessible tourism|accessible]] to people with disabilities as it is equipped with [[wheelchair ramp]]s.

Since its opening, the station has experienced some incidents, including [[2023 Mexico City Metro train crash|a train crash]] in the southbound tunnel, where one person died and 106 others were injured, and a sinking caused by local subsidence.

According to the company IUYET, contracted by the metro system to inspect Line&nbsp;3, the Potrero metro station building "has a high level of vulnerability due to collapses in the [[Concrete slab|slabs]], fractures, and subsidence".
