Nevsky Prospect (Russian: Не́вский проспе́кт) is a station on the Moskovsko-Petrogradskaya Line of the Saint Petersburg Metro.

The station was built on July 1, 1963. While the station inself was designed by Mayofis and Maximov, the interior was designed Getskin, Shuvalova and Andreyev. The station has two sets of exits on Mihailovskya Street.

The station is linked to Gostiny Dvor via a transfer corridor that descends to the middle of the platform and a set of escalators at the plantform's northern end.

Nevsky Prospect is considered one of the most congested stations in the entire Saint Petersburg Metro.[1][2]

Nevsky Prospect is one of the more exotic locations used in Mornington Crescent, a game played in the BBC Radio 4 show "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue".
