Correos (Spanish) or Correus (Catalan) was a former Barcelona metro station. The station site is located on what is now line L4 between the existing stations of Jaume I and Barceloneta, and under the street of Via Laietana.^[1]^[2]

The station opened in 1934 as a terminus of a branch of the Gran Metro de Barcelona, Barcelona's first metro line. The Gran Metro de Barcelona came to be known as line L3 but Correos remained the terminus of a branch. The station was dismantled in 1972 to permit the extension of the line into La Barceloneta, as part of the integration of the branch into line L4.^[1]^[2]

Along with Banco, it is one of the two metro stations on Via Laietana that have disappeared.^[1]
