Prospekt Mira (Russian: Проспект Мира ~ Avenue of Peace) is a station of the Moscow Metro, located on the Koltsevaya Line. It was designed by V.G. Gelfreikh and M.A. Minkus and opened in 1952. The station features flared white marble pylons decorated with bas-reliefs by G.I. Motovilov exploring the theme of Soviet agriculture. The outer walls are faced with dark red Ural marble and the station is lit by three rows of cylindrical chandeliers.

The entrance to the station (designed by A.E. Arkin) occupies the two ground floors of a building on the southeast corner of Prospekt Mira and Protopopovsky Pereulok.
