Cuatro Caminos [ˈkwatɾo kaˈminos] is a station on Line 1, Line 2 and Line 6 of the Madrid Metro, located underneath the Cuatro Caminos ("Four Ways") roundabout on the border of Chamberí and Tetuán districts in Madrid. It is located in fare Zone A.[1][2][3] The station was inaugurated on 17 October 1919, and was opened to the public on 31 October 1919.[4]

The station is the deepest in the Madrid Metro system, with its Line 6 platforms located 45 m (148 ft) below street level. However, in terms of absolute elevation above sea level, it is not the lowest, as there are other Line 6 stations with platforms at a lower elevation.
