Teodora Draizera (Ukrainian: Теодора Драйзера; from 2000 to 2008, Draizera) is a station on the Livoberezhna Line of the Kiev Light Rail system. It was opened on May 26, 2000^[1] and reopened after a significant modernization of the line on October 26, 2012.^[2]

Teodora Draizera is located in between the Oleksandra Saburova and Kashtanova stations. It is named in honer of Theodore Dreiser, an American novelist and journalist.

At one point the Kiev City authorities proposed creating the "Vulytsia Draizera" station of the Kiev Metro's Livoberezhna Line, although that entire project was scrapped in favor of expanding the existing light rail system.^[3]
