Teodora Draizera (also known as Draizera (2000-2008); Ukrainian: Теодора Драйзера) is a station on the Livoberezhna Line of the Kyiv Light Rail system. It was opened on May 26, 2000[1] and reopened after a significant modernization of the line on October 26, 2012.[2]

Teodora Draizera is located in between the

Oleksandra Saburova and Kashtanova stations. It is named in honor of Theodore Dreiser, an American
novelist and journalist.

At one point the Kyiv City authorities proposed creating the "Vulytsia Draizera" station of the Kyiv Metro's Livoberezhna Line, although that entire project was scrapped in favor of expanding the existing light rail system.[3]
