Sestao is a station on line 2 of the Bilbao metro. It is located in central Sestao, in close proximity to the city hall and the Santa María church. It opened on 8 January 2005 and it acted as northern terminus for line 2 until the opening of the Portugalete extension in 2007.[3][4]

There is a station on the Cercanías Bilbao commuter railway network with the same name, but the two stations are not connected.
