Rizhskaya (Russian: ) is a station on the Moscow Metro's Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya Line. It is named after the nearby Riga railway terminal and was designed by Latvian architects A. Reinfelds and V. Anpsitis. The brightly colored Latvian ceramics employed throughout the station make it instantly recognizable. The pylons, which follow the curve of the station tube, are faced with reddish-brown tile and sandwiched between piers faced with lemon yellow tile and decorated with gold-colored cornices. The ventilation grilles above the pylons are decorated with the Latvian coat of arms. The station opened on May 1, 1958.

The round vestibule, which was designed by S.M. Kravets, Yu.A. Kolesnikova, and G.E. Golubev, is located on the east side of Prospekt Mira at Rizhskaya Square.
