Estadio Azteca light rail station, is a station of the Xochimilco Light Rail in the colonia (neighborhood) of Ejido Viejo de Santa Úrsula Coapa, in the borough of Coyoacán, Mexico City. It is an at-grade station along Calzada de Tlalpan, with two island platforms, being named after and serving the adjacent Azteca Stadium (branded as Banorte Stadium since 2025, and dubbed the "Mexico City Stadium" during the 2026 FIFA World Cup).

The light rail station is found between El Vergel and Huipulco stations. The station's pictogram depicts a stylized view of that stadium. The facilities are accessible to people with disabilities. Outside, the station has a transportation hub servicing local bus routes, and it is expected to connect to the trolleybus system, which is under ongoing construction.

Estadio Azteca opened on 1 August 1986, providing northward service toward Tasqueña light rail station. It formerly provided a southward service toward the borough of Tlalpan, but it was discontinued in 1990. The station has undergone several renovations, the most recent in anticipation of increased tourist demand for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
