Francisco Goitia is a station on the Xochimilco Light Rail in the south of Mexico City, in the Xochimilco borough. It sits at street level and has two platforms and two tracks along Avenida 20 de Noviembre near Barrio de San Marcos.

The station opened in 1988. It was originally called Xochimilco and served as the line’s terminus until Embarcadero station opened in 1995 closer to Xochimilco’s city center. Embarcadero was later renamed to Xochimilco light rail station, while the original Xochimilco station was renamed Francisco Goitia, after a nearby street named for the Zacatecan painter who lived in Xochimilco and died there. The station’s logo features a painter’s palette and brush.
