Desamparados station is a railway station in Lima, Peru, on the southern margin of the Rímac River beside the Government Palace, at the corner of Áncash and Carabaya streets. Designed by Rafael Marquina y Bueno in the Art Nouveau style, it is recognised as cultural heritage of Peru. It takes its name from the Church of Our Lady of the Forsaken, which stood beside it until 1937. The building now houses the House of Peruvian Literature, a museum inaugurated in 2009.
