Livoberezhna Line (Ukrainian: Лівобережна лінія; literally Left Bank Line) was a proposed fifth metro line of the Kiev Metro system, which was planned to serve the left bank neighborhoods of the Ukrainian capital Kiev. The line is typically colored sky blue on the maps.

The line was proposed to have a transfer station with metro lines which would connect them to the city's right bank, including the Livoberezhna station of the Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line and a future undecided station of the Podilsko-Vyhurivska Line which is currently under construction. The line was also to have featured connections with existing intercity railway stations.

In April 2014, Volodymyr Bondarenko, the Chairman of the Kiev City State Administration, stated that the proposition to extend a metro line to the city's Troieschyna neighborhood has been abandoned in favor of modernizing the Livoberezhna Line of the city's light rail system.

The plan was rejected due to the high cost of building a new metro line. The most recent plan of the future metro lines no longer features the Livoberezhna Line, and rather includes the Vyshhorodsko-Darnytska Line, another proposed addition to the Kiev Metro system.
