Khovrino (Russian: Ховрино) is a station under construction on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line of the Moscow Metro due to open towards the end of 2017. The boring of 2.2 km (1.4 mi) of tunnels north from the current terminus, Rechnoy Vokzal, was completed in December 2014 by tunnel boring machine. The station was originally planned to open in December 2016, but, despite construction being largely completed in 2016, the opening of Khovrino was postponed by the decision to construct an intermediate station (Belomorskaya Street ()).

Khovrino will become the northern terminus of the line, and the closest subway station to the Sheremetyevo International Airport.

Various plans have existed throughout the history of the line to extend it northward, and recent plans included an intermediate station, Belomorskaya, between Khovrino and Rechnoy Vokzal, but it was later abandoned in favour of having only one station on the extension, but in 2016 the plans to build a station at Belomorskaya Ulitsa were revived.
