Perovo (Russian: Перово) is a Moscow Metro station on Kalininskaya Line. It was opened on the 30 December 1979 along with the Perovo radius at a depth of nine metres. Named after the Moscow district Perovo, the architects Nina Aleshina and Volovich adopted a single-vault design with hinged aluminium lighting elements. The decorative composition is dedicated to Russian folk arts, with the walls decorated with blocks with screw-threaded rocks, and original patterns above the entrance portals (by L.Novikova and B.Filatov). The walls are reveted with white marble above and black gabbro below. The floor, which has several high marble stalls surrounded by benches, is faced with grey, black and brown granite. The decorative design of the station is devoted to the Russian folk arts.

The station has two exits, both interlinked with the underground subways under the Zelenyi Avenue and 2-nd Vladimirskaya street. Presentely the station has a relatively low passenger traffic of 49300 passengers.
