Butyrskaya (Russian: Бутырская) is a Moscow Metro station of Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya Line. It is located between Maryina Roshcha, the former terminus of the line, and Fonvizinskaya, at the intersection of Rustaveli Street and Ogorodny Proyezd, close to Ostankino railway platform. It has 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 was originally planned to be opened in December 2015.[2] The projected opening date was later shifted to 2016.[3] The station was opened on 16 September 2016.
