Parque Bustamante is an underground metro station on the Line 5 of the Santiago Metro, in Santiago, Chile. It is located beneath Parque Bustamante, which gives the name to the station.

Originally the platform side walls featured mosaics that were vaguely designed to resemble trees. That decoration was disguised by the mural-like artwork named Vida y Trabajo, which was completed in 2008.[2] Another artwork installed here is named El Sitio de las Cosas by Pablo Rivera, which is made of polyester resin coated with an applied copper patina.[2]
