Mixiuhca is a metro station along Line 9 of the Mexico City Metro serving the Jardín Balbuena and Colonia Magdalena Mixiuhca districts in the Venustiano Carranza borough of Mexico City, Mexico.[2][3]

The station's icon is a silhouette of a woman holding a newborn baby.[2][3] In the Nahuatl language mixiuhca means "place of births".[2] The origin of this name comes from one of the Aztecs' migration stories. When the Aztecs first came to the Valley of Mexico, they lived for a long time in a place called Tizapan. However, they were violently expelled from there.[2] Legend states that they ran out to the surrounding swamps using their shields and spears as rafts for the women and children.[2] They ran across three places: Mexicaltzingo, Iztacalco and Temazcaltitlán, and precisely there, in that last place, one of the women gave birth to a child.[2] From then on, the name of that place became Mixiuhca.[2]

The station was opened on 26 August 1987.[4] From 23 April to 21 June 2020, the station was temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.[5][6]
