Tsaritsyno is a railway station on Line D2 of the Moscow Central Diameters located in Moscow. It was opened in 1865.[1] The current station building was constructed in 1908, designed by architect V.K. Fillipov.

In Leo Tolstoy's novel "Anna Karenina", the station is mentioned in the context of a celebration for volunteers departing to fight in the Russo-Turkish War.[2]
