The Kyiv River Port ({{langx|uk|Київський річковий порт}}; translit. Kyivskyi richkovyi port) is the main river port of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, located on the right bank of the Dnieper River in the Podil neighborhood of the city. The port has its own fleet that serves as a shipping company. It also has departments in Pereiaslav and Rzhyshchiv.

The passenger part of the port has been renovated to house American University Kyiv since 2021.

History

Since ancient times, the Podil neighborhood was an important trade center, especially by water routes.

Around the 19th century, steamboats started to navigate along the Dnieper, and a row of quays were built along the Right Bank of the river.

Kyiv River Port boasts more than 20 riverboat stairway-equipped moorings on the several kilometer-long embankment, all of which are reserved for passenger and leisure vessels. From April through October, there is a daily leisure navigation in the port, facilitated by various private operators.

==Passenger terminal of the port==

In 1953–1961 a new passenger terminal was built on the Poshtova Square by the architects V. Gopkalo, V. Ladny, and others. The building has a mast-like tower which resembled a steamboat tower.
