Rondizzoni is a metro station on the Line 2 of the Santiago Metro, in Santiago, Chile. It is located in the middle of a depressed alignment of Autopista Central and close to the southeast corner of O'Higgins Park. When the station opened, its name was Rondizzoni-Famae. Afterward, the name was truncated to just Rondizzoni.

The station was opened on 31 March 1978 as part of the inaugural section of the line, between Los Héroes and Franklin.[2]

The station has an entrance on the Rondizzoni Avenue overpass. Line 2 enters a curved tunnel just south of the station and remains underground until its southern terminus.

For much of their length, the platforms are covered by a concrete canopy supported by steel beams. Several years ago[when?] the station was flooded and to prevent future floods the original barred rectangular openings in the platforms walls were filled in and covered with brick tiles.
