Ploshcha Lva Tolstoho (Ukrainian: Площа Льва Толстого, (listen)) is a station on Kyiv Metro's Obolonsko–Teremkivska Line. The station was opened on 19 December 1981, and is named after the writer Leo Tolstoy (who visited Kyiv only once^[1]). It was designed by N.A. Levchuk and V.B. Zhezheryn.

The station is located deep underground and consists of a central hall with arcades in the walls. The central hall has been covered with orange-coloured marble and is lit by chandeliers and decorative lamps placed on the walls. Passenger tunnels connect the station to the Leo Tolstoy Square and another street.

The station forms a station complex with a transfer tunnel with the adjoining Palats Sportu station on the Syretsko-Pecherska Line.
