Nagatinsky Zaton (Russian: Нагатинский затон, lit. 'Nagatino bay'pronunciationⓘ) is a metro station on the Bolshaya Koltsevaya line of the Moscow Metro, between Klenovy Bulvar and Pechatniki. The name of the station derives from Nagatinsky Zaton District where it is located. The station was opened on 1 March 2023. The construction started in 2017.[1]

The station is notable for its mosaics of fish that can be found in the nearby Moscow River. The mosaics draw inspiration from a 1st Century Roman mosaic depicting a fish now on exhibit at the State Historical Museum, Moscow.[2]
