Rechnoy Vokzal (Russian: Речной вокзал, River Terminal) is a Moscow Metro station on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line. It is a northwestern terminus of the line. The station was opened on the New Year Eve of 1965. Until 1975 it was the most northern station in Moscow. The design follows the standardized pillar-trispan design featuring white-flecked, brown marble pillars and tiled walls. The architects were N. Demchinsky and Yu. Kolesnikova. It has two identical vestibules, located at the intersection of Festivalnaya Street and the M10 highway.

Like other Metro termini, Rechnoy Vokzal carries a heavy passenger load, serving around 111,000 passengers each day.
