Château Rouge (; 'Red Castle') is a station on Line 4 of the Paris Métro in the 18th arrondissement.
The station opened on 21 April 1908 as part of the first section of the line from Châtelet to Porte de Clignancourt. It is named for the Place du Château Rouge, itself named for a handsome residence of red bricks built nearby in 1760 but demolished in 1875. The nearby Goutte d'Or district is a vibrant, multicultural area and Rue Dejean street market operates every day except Monday.
Crime Since the late 2000s the area is known for pickpocketing and trade of stolen goods, especially mobile phones picked from unaware tourists around Sacré-Cœur and Barbès.
On 20 July 2021, six people were injured after a woman stuck her shopping trolley in the escalator at the station.
