Metro Candelaria is a station on the Mexico City Metro. It is located in the Venustiano Carranza borough to the east of downtown Mexico City. It serves Lines 1 and 4.

The station logo depicts a swimming duck. Its name and logo come from the nearby neighbourhood of La Candelaria de los Patos (the Spanish word pato means "duck") where, only a few decades ago, lived many duck species that were bred and sold in a local market.

Metro Candelaria has a subsidiary name, Metro Palacio Legislativo ("Legislative Palace"), because of its closeness to the nearby Chamber of Deputies (Cámara de diputados), the lower house of the Mexican Congress.

Candelaria is a transfer station, with Line 1 running underground and Line 4 on an elevated surface viaduct. The station also features an in-corridor cultural display.

For the past 27 years, this station has had the only "Lost and Found" office in the entire Metro system.
