Oktyabrskoye Pole (Russian: Октябрьское поле, literally October Field) is a station on the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line of the Moscow Metro. The station was opened on December 30, 1972 as part of the Krasnopresnenskiy radius, and for exactly three years it was the original terminus of the Krasnopresnenskaya Line. The station received its name from Khodynka Field, a nearby locality which was known as October Field during Soviet Rule.

Designed by Nina Aleshina and Zaitseva, the station features a typical pillar-trispan "Novaya Sorokonozhka" design, with polygonal aluminium coated pillars and walls with bright-grey coloured marble decorated with anodized aluminium artworks (artists Bodniek and Rysin). The floor is coated white marble except for the area around the pillars where it gives way to black granite. The two vestibules are interlinked with subways that allow access to Narodnogo Opolcheniya Street (Russian: ул.Народного Ополчения) and Marshala Biryuzova Street (Russian: ул. Маршала Бирюзова).

The station has a daily passenger flow of 75910 people.
