Alte Oper is an underground station on the C Line of the Frankfurt U-Bahn. It is served by the U6 and U7, and is named after and serves the nearby Alte Oper concert hall.

The station was designed by A.C. Walter,[3] and opened on 11 October 1986.[2] It echoes the Alte Oper's Renaissance Revival architecture with its arched, column-free design. It was the first station on the Frankfurt U-Bahn network to be built completely free of columns.[2]
