Rodrigo de Araya is an elevated metro station on the Line 5 of the Santiago Metro, in Santiago, Chile. The station consists of an elliptical cylindrical structure enclosing the side platforms and tracks.

The station was opened on 5 April 1997 as part of the inaugural section of the line, from Baquedano to Bellavista de La Florida. [1]
