Plaza Quilicura is an underground metro station and the northern terminal station of Line 3 of the Santiago Metro network, in Santiago, Chile. It is an underground, preceded by Lo Cruzat station on Line 3. It is located at the intersection of Manuel Antonio Matta Avenue with Bernardo O'Higgins Avenues.

The station was opened on 25 September, 2023 as part of the inaugural section of the extension of Line 3 from Plaza Quilicura to Los Libertadores.

Its name is due to the fact that it is located near the Plaza de Armas of Quilicura.

On December 10, 2021, a vote was held in which residents of the commune participated, who had to define - from three available options - the pictogram that identifies the station: in two of them a work of indigenous pottery is presented, which refers to the archaeological finds that occurred in the works of the station and that correspond to the Aconcagua and Inca cultures; The rescued objects were delivered to the National Museum of Natural History. The third option, the winning one, represents a view of the commune's Plaza de Armas.
