Ploshcha Lva Tolstoho (Ukrainian: Площа Льва Толстого; Russian: Площадь Льва Толстого, Ploschad Lva Tolstogo) is a station on Kiev Metro's Kurenivsko-Chervonoarmiyska Line. The station was opened on December 19, 1981, and is named after the writer Leo Tolstoy. It was designed by N.A. Levchuk and V.B. Zhezheryn.

The station is located deep underground and consists of a central hall with arcades in the walls.
