Nezahualcóyotl is a station on Line B of the Mexico City Metro system.[1][2] It is located in Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl in the State of Mexico adjacent to Mexico City.[1]

The logo for the station is the head of a coyote since Nezahualcóyotl is Nahuatl for "hungry coyote", it is similar to the seal of Ciudad Nezahualcóyotl.[1][2] The station was opened on 30 November 2000.[3]

From 2000 to 2002 the station name was Continentes (Spanish for "continents"), due to the station being near the Boulevard de los Continentes, and the icon of the station was a Mollweide projection. In 2002, it was decided to change the name of the station to Nezahualcóyotl, to reflect the name of the municipality that is crossed by this specific station.[4]
