Fleming (Greek: Φλέμιγκ)[1] is an under-construction metro station serving Thessaloniki Metro's Line 1 and Line 2. The station is named after the Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming. During construction, a Roman cemetery and a small settlement were found, and it is designated as a low-importance archaeological site by Attiko Metro, the company overseeing its construction.[2] It is expected to enter service in 2023.[3]

This station also appears in the 1988 Thessaloniki Metro proposal.[4]
