Porte d'Ivry (French pronunciation: [pɔʁt divʁi]) is a station of the Paris Métro, serving Line 7 and Tramway Line 3a.[1] It is named after the Porte d'Ivry, a gate in the nineteenth century Thiers wall of Paris on the road that led to Ivry-sur-Seine.

The station opened on 26 April 1931, when Line 7 took over the Line 10 route from Place Monge to Porte de Choisy and was extended to Porte d'Ivry. Porte d'Ivry was the terminus of Tramway Line 3 when it opened on 16 December 2006. It was extended to Porte de Vincennes on 15 December 2012 and renamed 3a.
