Pechatniki (Russian: Печатники ~ Printers) is a station of the Moscow Metro's Lyublinskaya Line. The station was opened on 28th December, 1995 as part of the first stage of the Lyublinsky radius, and is named after the district that it is situated in. The station is typical pillar-trispan, although it was the last of such design to be opened in Moscow to date.

The architects Yuri Orlov and A.Nekrasov designed the station in a unique way with no lighting above the black ceiling platforms and central wave-like anodised aluminium ceiling. The pillars are reveted with pink marble whist, the walls show greyish tint. The floor is laid with red and grey granite.

The vestibule is separately decorated with a large mettallic panno Muscovites' work and rest (artist V. Bubnov). Just before the station is a service branch leading into the Pechatniki depot that serves the Lyublinskaya Line.
