This is a list of stations on the underground railway system (Metrô Rio) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Nowadays, the system has three lines denominated numerically: broadly Line 1 serves the south and central zones while Line 2 serves the north. There used to be an interchange between them at Estácio Station, but now Line 2 uses the rails of Line 1 to get at Botafogo Station, closing interchange at Estácio. Line 4 (yellow line) links West Zone, in the neighbourhood of Barra da Tijuca, to South Zone, in Ipanema.
Line 3, serving Niterói and São Gonçalo municipalities, is being planned.
Currently, there are 41 operational stations.
