The Delegación Cuauhtémoc , named after the former Aztec ruler , is one of 16 districts ( delegaciones ) in the Mexican capital, Mexico City .

Cuauhtémoc is the district in which the old town with the zócalo , the presidential palace and the cathedral is located as well as the Zona Rosa and the archaeological zones of the Templo Mayor and Tlatelolco . Due to the abundance of its historically significant landmarks, Cuauhtémoc is the most visited district of Mexico City by foreign tourists.

The district is also important from an economic point of view; because in the northeastern section of the Paseo de la Reforma , which also belongs to the Delegación Cuauhtémoc, a number of banks and companies have their headquarters, as well as the country's only stock exchange. The Torre Mayor , one of the tallest buildings in Mexico, is also in this section. In 2006 the Biblioteca Vasconcelos was opened.

The Tepito district north of the historic center, known for its high crime rate , is also located in the Delegación Cuauhtémoc.
