Vespucio Norte is an underground metro station on the Line 2 of the Santiago Metro, in Santiago, Chile. It is the northern terminus of the Line 2 and provides 120 underground parking spaces.

Built in open cut, the station has two side platforms and two tracks. At the center of the station a large mezzanine, without central support, spans over tracks and platforms, all of which are surmounted by a longitudinally curved ceiling.

A very long pavilion, which features an irregularly sawtooth shaped roof, houses the entrances to the station and is connected to a bus area. It is located on the south side of Vespucio Norte Express freeway.
