Metro Hidalgo is a station on the Mexico City Metro. It is located in the Cuauhtémoc borough in the centre of Mexico City. It is a transfer station, serving Lines 2 and 3.

The station's name evokes Miguel Hidalgo, the chief instigator of the Mexican War of Independence of 1810, after whom a nearby avenue is named. The station logo depicts Hidalgo's profile.

This station is busier every 28th day of each month, due to the nearby San Judas Tadeo Roman Catholic shrine and place of pilgrimage. It also attracts pilgrims because of a set of floor tiles that are stained in such a way that the silhouette of the Virgin of Guadalupe can be made out; the section of floor has since been removed and put on display in a shrine at one of the station's entrances.

Metro Hidalgo provides transfers not only between lines 2 and 3, but also with trolleybus Line "LL", which runs between this metro station and San Felipe de Jesús neighbourhood.

This station is on Paseo de La Reforma Dr. an important avenue in Mexico City. Bus transportation from this station to Chapultepec Park, passing trough tourist sites as the Angel de la Independencia, Caballito Tower, Japan and USA embassies, is cheap (MXN 3.50) and rather fast. The exits from the "green line" part of the station are located on one end of the Alameda Central a large park. At the other end of the Alameda lies the Palacio the Bellas Artes (Palace of Fine Arts), a historical theatre built by president Porfirio Diaz at the end of the 19th Century, an important tourist atraction.

This station has an information desk, facilities for the handicapped and a cultural display.
