Constitución railway station (Spanish: Estación Constitución) is a major railway station in Constitución, a barrio in central Buenos Aires, Argentina. The full official name of the station is Estación Plaza Constitución (in English: Constitution Square Station) reflecting the fact that the station is located opposite Constitution Square, two kilometers to the south of the Obelisco landmark. The ground floor of the station has fourteen tracks and the floor below has two tracks for the Buenos Aires Underground. It serves as the South terminal for the city (with Retiro and Once stations as the North and West terminals respectively).
In 2021, the station received the heritage designation of National Historic Monument.
