Tasqueña light rail station, alternatively spelled Taxqueña, is a station of the Xochimilco Light Rail in the colonia (neighborhood) of Campestre Churubusco, in the borough of Coyoacán, Mexico City. It is an at-grade station with two side platforms serving as the northern terminus of the only light train service in the city. It is followed by Las Torres light rail station.

The station is situated adjacent to the Mexico City Metro station of the same name, which is the southern terminus of Line 2. The name of both stations reference the nearby Calzada Taxqueña, a major avenue in the area. The station's pictogram depicts a crescent moon. Due to its connection with the metro station, the light rail station facilities are accessible to people with disabilities featuring elevators, tactile pavings, braille plates, and wheelchair ramps. Outside, the station has a transportation hub servicing local bus routes, the trolleybus system, and the southern intercity bus station. Additionally, there is a bicycle parking station, an Internet café, a women's assistance module, a health center, and a mural.

Tasqueña opened on 1 August 1986, providing southward service toward Estadio Azteca light rail station. It has undergone several renovations, the most recent is undergoing in 2025, to expand its platforms to a Barcelona solution, adding a new central platform in anticipation of increased tourist demand for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as the line connects to Estadio Azteca.
