Campo 24 de Agosto is a light rail station on the Porto Metro system in Porto, Portugal. The station is underground, adjacent to the Campo 24 de Agosto square [pt], from which it takes its name. It was opened in 2004.

The station is a through station on lines A, B, C, E and F, which run as one line within the metropolitan area. The next station to the west is Bolhão [pt]. To the east, the next station is Heroísmo. Campo 24 de Agosto station has two through tracks served by two side platforms.

The new station was opened on 5 June 2004 the extension of the initial line from its previous terminus at Trindade to a new terminus at Estádio do Dragão. The extension was initially served by lines A and B, with line C starting on 30 July 2005, line E on 27 May 2006, and line F on 2 January 2011.

During the excavations for the station, the remains of the Arca de Água de Mijavelhas [pt], a water tank used to provide water supply to the city, were found. The ruins, which date from the 14th to the 19th centuries, were incorporated into the station, and are displayed there with explanatory panels.
