Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Ukrainian: Майдан Незалежності,pronunciation) is a station on Kyiv Metro's Obolonsko–Teremkivska line. The station was opened on 17 December 1976, and is named after Kyiv's Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square) on the Khreshchatyk street. It was designed by N. Kolomiiets, I. Maslenkov, M. Syrkyn, and F. Zaremba.

The station was formerly known as Ploshcha Kalinina, but was renamed a year after its opening to Ploshcha Zhovtnevoii Revoliutsii (Ukrainian: Площа Жовтневої революції). Maidan Nezalezhnosti forms a station complex with a transfer section with the neighbouring Khreshchatyk station on the Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line.

The station is laid deep underground and consists of a central hall with porticoes. The lamps which light the station are hidden in the niches between the columns and the walls.

The station was used as the venue for Vibdir 2023, Ukraine's national selection for Eurovision 2023 in Liverpool.
