Tudor Arghezi (named for a Romanian writer) is a metro station in Bucharest, Romania. It was opened on 15 November 2023,[1] and is the newest terminus of the M2 Line from Pipera.

Unlike the other stations on the Bucharest Metro, this one was made by the local government of Sector 4[2] to support the development of the area.[3] The tender for the design and construction of the station was launched in September 2019,[4] and the contract was awarded in April 2020 to a consortium led by the company Somet. The construction was worth 50 million euros.[5]

Between 15 November 2023 when it was opened and 8 May 2024, all services to Tudor Arghezi ran in a shuttle service from Berceni, because the signalling and automatisation systems were not yet finished.[6]
