The Obolonsko–Teremkivska line ({{langx|uk|Оболонсько-Теремківська лінія}}, {{lang|uk-Latn|Obolons'ko-Teremkivs'ka liniia}}), is the second line of the Kyiv Metro system that serves Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. First opened in 1976, the line extended northwards along the right bank of the Dnieper river and began deviating from the river towards the southwest. As the current stations were built in the 1970s and 1980s, architecturally the line shows some of the best examples of late-Soviet architectural features. It is generally coloured blue on the maps.

Rolling stock
The line is served by the Obolon (#2) depot. Presently 32 five-carriage trains are assigned to it. Most of them are of type 81-717/714 and 81-717.5/714.5 built during the late 1970s and the 1980s.
In 2007 new type 81-540.2K/541.2K, which is an advancement of type 81-717/714, went into service on the line. In 2002 a train of type 81-553.1/554.1/555.1 (Slavutich), which is a variant of the
81-71M in Prague metro, went into service on the line and it's the only train in the entire Kyiv metro.
Recent developments and future plans
A major extension of the line to the southwestern regions of Holosiiv and Teremky has long been planned since the 1980s, however due to the difficult conditions under the Lybid River and financial shortages, all work was frozen in the early 1990s and the completed sections were flooded.
Resumed in 2002, the project[http://www.picatom.com/e/img/plankkl2007-2.jpg schematic of the line] will conclude of seven stations and were finished by 2020. Demiivska, Holosiivska and Vasylkivska were opened 15 December 2010; after a delay of two years because of lack of funds.[http://www.kyivpost.com/news/city/detail/66452/ Kyiv Metropolitan to open stations on Teremky line by the end of 2010], Kyiv Post (12 May 2010)[http://en.drugasmuga.com/news/officially/6982.html How long should we wait metro aside Teremki?] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110815163008/http://en.drugasmuga.com/news/officially/6982.html |date=15 August 2011 }}, www.drugasmuga.com (23 March 2009) Vystakovyi Tsentr was opened 27 December 2011.{{in lang|uk}} [http://www.interfax.com.ua/ukr/main/90145/ Азарову сподобалася нова станція столичного метро "Виставковий центр"], Interfax-Ukraine (27 December 2011) The second stage included the stations Ipodrom and Teremky which brought the line along the Akademika Glushkova avenue past the Kyiv Ring Road.

The final stage may finish with the station Odeska and a new depot nearby. A considered option is a two station branch after Ipodrom northwards to two further stations: Avtovokzal Teremky and Vulytsia Kreisera Avrory.
