Kotelniki (Russian: Котельники) is a station under construction on Moscow Metro's Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line. It will be the eastern terminus of the line, east of the station of Zhulebino, and is currently scheduled to be open in early 2015. The station will be located in the town of Kotelniki of Moscow Oblast.^[1] If opened on time, it will be the second station of Moscow Metro in Moscow Oblast after Myakinino.

In 1984, after the western part of the town of Lyubertsy was transferred to Moscow,^[2] rapid urban development started. The whole area, along with Lyubertsy and other areas along the Kazansky and Ryazansky suburban directions of Moscow Railway were strongly dependent on the station of Vykhino, then the terminus of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line and a transfer station to both railway directions. In the 2000s, Vykhino was heavily overloaded. Eventually, the decision was taken to extend the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line beyond Vykhino. The construction of the first stretch, with the stations of Lermontovsky Prospekt and Zhulebino, was completed on 9 November 2013.^[3] The second stretch will connect Zhulebino and Kotelniki.
