The Oleksiivska Line (Ukrainian: Олексіївська лінія, Russian: Алексеевская линия) is the third and newest line of the Kharkiv Metro that was opened in 1995. The Oleksiivska Line is the second longest in the system at 9.9 kilometres (6.2 mi) and contains a total of nine stations, with the Peremoha being the last one opened on 19 August 2016.

The line cuts the city of Kharkiv, the second largest city in Ukraine, on a north-east—south-west axis. The Oleksiivska Line is third behind the Saltivska Line with a daily ridership of 141,150 passengers. Work to expand the Oleksiivska Line past its southern terminus, at Metrobudivnykiv, started late 2015 and is scheduled to be completed until 2019.

There has been only one name change on the Oleksiivska Line after the station was opened: Metrobudivelnyky (1995–2000) →Metrobudivnykiv imeni H.I. Vashchenka (2000–2016) →Metrobudivnykiv The Peremoha station project was originally named Prospekt Peremohy during the early planning stages until the name was decided upon the current one.

Six of the Oleksiivska Line stations were built close to the surface, with only the Derzhprom and Arkhitektora Beketova stations constructed deep underground. Five of the shallow stations consist of a central platform and vaulted ceiling supported by columns, with another one being a single-vault station, having a vaulted roof with no ceiling support. The two deep stations are both pylon stations, in which the central hall is separated by arcades leading to the station platforms.
