Vicente Aleixandre [biˈθente alejɣˈsandɾe] is a station on Line 6 of the Madrid Metro, located beneath Gregorio del Amo avenue in the Moncloa-Aravaca district in fare Zone A, although one of its exits is located in the Chamberí district.[1] It is named after the Spanish poet Vicente Aleixandre (1898–1984).[2]

Vicente Aleixandre is one of only two stations in the system (the other one is Colonia Jardín) at which it is not possible to change direction without leaving the station. Vicente Aleixandre is not handicapped accessible, as it does not have elevators.
