Trubnaya (Russian: Трубная) is a future station of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya Line of the Moscow Metro that is due to open early September 2007. The station will be a transfer to Tsvetnoy Bulvar of the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya Line.

Construction of the station began back in 1984, during the building of Tsvetnoy Bulvar. However after the 1990s, it was mostly frozen and despite a few slow restarts remained derelict up until 2004 when proper financing finally arrived.

The station is a wall-column design with three vaults that rests on a monolithic concrete plate. The architects V.Fillipov, S.Petrosyan, A.Ruban, T.Silakadze, T.Petrova and S.Prytkova devised a theme that was inspired by the boulevard ring. The wall columns will be widened into the central hall to give the impression of pylons, whilst the inter-pylon span will be supported by three standard dark green marbled columns. The pylons and the four metre thick inter-vault span will be faced with grey marble as would the walls. In addition dark green marble will be on the vault faces of the pylons as well, these would be punctuated by a series of artworks on the theme of Old Moscow and boulevard-styled lamps to provide illumination and traditional benches. The floor will be a simple geometric shape with grey and black granite that will follow the symmetry of the portal layout. White fibreglass will be used on the vaults of the central (9.5 metre diameter) and the platform halls (8.5) as well as the escalator and transfer corridor ceilings, which will also double for hydroisolation. The remaining illumination will be by luminescent lamps hidden behind the niches of the vault sides.

The station's northern end will be a transfer to the Tsvetnoy Bulvar station, which will feature an escalator corridor with four machines and then a descend into the central hall of the older station. A stained glass composition Circus by Zurab Tsereteli will decorate it. The station's southern end will be linked up with an underground vestibule at the intersection of the Tsvetnoy Boulevard and the Boulevard Ring, which will be interlinked with subways that give access to the surface.
