The Maskoŭskaja line (also referred to as Maskowskaya line or Moskovskaya line) (Belarusian: Маскоўская лінія; Russian: Московская линия, romanized: Moskovskaya liniya; lit: "Moscow line") is a line of the Minsk Metro. The line was opened along with the Metro in 1984 with the original eight station segment, and crosses the city on a northeast–southwest axis. Currently it comprises 15 stations and 19.1 km (11.9 mi) of track.

The line is served by the Moskovskoe depot (№ 1), and currently has 21 five carriage 81-717/714 and the modernised 81-717.5M/714.5M trains assigned to it.

A 5.2 km extension has been constructed to the southwest of the city and contains three stations: Hrushawka, Mikhalova, and Pyatrowshchyna. It was opened on 7 November 2012.

The last extension was on 3 June 2014, when Malinawka was opened.
