Lybidska (Ukrainian: Либідська, ⓘ) is the 27th station of the Kyiv Metro system that serves the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. The station was opened as part of the Obolonsko–Teremkivska Line on 30 December 1984, located between the Palats "Ukrayina" and Demiivska stations.
The station provides passenger access to Lybdiska Square, under which it is located. It served as the line's southern terminus for 26 years until 2010, when the line was extended to Vasylkivska. After the fall of Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the station was renamed "Lybidska" after a nearby river—Lybid, on 2 February 1993.
In 2011, the station was listed as a "newly discovered object of cultural heritage," and monuments of architecture, town planning, and art. In May 2016, it was decided that the Soviet decorative piece at the end of the central hall would be removed to be displayed at a museum in accordance with the 2015 decommunization laws.
As of 2011, Lybidska has a daily ridership of 28,500, and is operational every day from 05:48 to 00:00.
