Quilín is a freeway-median metro station on the Line 4 of the Santiago Metro, in Santiago, Chile. It acts as a central support structure for the northern bridge of a roundabout interchange called Quilín. The station was opened on 2 March 2006 as part of the connection between Grecia and Vicente Valdés.[2]

The station features an undulating roof whose central portion is part of the road deck of the aforementioned bridge. It has a mezzanine on its southern end; the mezzanine is connected to two exits by a curved grade-separated walkway, which consists of a footbridge at the center and two pedestrian tunnels at both ends.
