Butyrskaya (Russian: Бутырская) is a Moscow Metro station of Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya Line under construction. It will be located between Maryina Roshcha, the former northern terminus of the line, and Fonvizinskaya. The station will be located at the intersection of Rustaveli Street and Ogorodny Proyezd, close to the Ostankino railway platform. It will have one island platform.[1] The name of the station derives from Butyrsky District and is thus related to the Butyrka prison and Butyrskaya Street.

The extension of the line from Maryina Roshcha northwest to Petrovsko-Razumovskaya via Butyrskaya and Fonvizinskaya is under construction and was originally planned to be opened in December 2015.[2] The projected opening date was later shifted to 2016.[3]
