Profsoyuznaya (Russian: Профсоюзная, English: Labor Unions' Station) is a station on the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya Line of the Moscow Metro.

Opened in 1962, Profsoyuznaya is built to a standard pillar-trispan and features pillars faced (except for very thin unfinished strips at the top and bottom) with gray marble. The walls are finished with a diamond pattern made up of 4×4 squares of white ceramic tile. The architects responsible for the station were Nina Aleshina and N. Demchinsky.

The two underground vestibules are located on Profsoyuznaya Street, the street for which the station is named, at its intersection with Nakhimovskiy Prospekt known as Josip Broz Tito Square.
