Tezonco metro station[a] is a station of the Mexico City Metro in the town of San Lorenzo Tezonco and in the colonia of Granjas San Jerónimo, in Tláhuac, Mexico City. It is an elevated station with two side platforms, served by Line 12 (the Golden Line), between Periférico Oriente and Olivos stations. The station's pictogram features a calavera as it references the area's Day of the Dead traditions during the festivity. The station was opened on 30 October 2012, on the first day of service from Tláhuac to Mixcoac metro stations.

The facilities are accessible for people with disabilities as there are elevators, tactile pavings and braille signage plates and there is a bicycle parking station. In 2019, the station had an average daily ridership of 23,131 passengers, making it the fourth-busiest station on the line. The station was closed for 20 months due to structural faults found in the line in 2014. In May 2021, a portion of the station's overhead track collapsed while a train was on it. The track fell onto cars and pedestrians below it, killing 26 and injuring 98.
