Kontraktova Ploshcha (Ukrainian: Контрактова площа; Russian: Контрактовая площадь , Kontraktovaya ploschad) is a station on Kiev Metro's Kurenivsko-Chervonoarmiyska Line. The station was opened on December 17, 1976, and is named after Kiev's Kontraktova Square (Contract's Square) in the historic Podil neighbourhood. It was designed by B.I. Pryimak, I.K. Maslenynkov, and F.M. Zaremba. The station was formerly known as Chervona Ploscha (Ukrainian: Червона площа).

The station is located shallow underground and consists of a central hall with columns. The columns and the walls along the tracks have been covered with green-brown coloured marble. Passenger tunnels connect the station to the Kontraktova Square and another street.
