Lomonosovsky Prospekt is an avenue in Moscow, Russia. It runs from Vavilova Street in the east (continuing Nakhimovsky Prospekt) to Mosfilmovskaya Street in the west (after which it continues as Minskaya Street).
The street was named in 1956 after Mikhail Lomonosov, a Russian scientist and active contributor to the founding of Moscow State University whose new campus had been by then constructed in the vicinity of the avenue.
As part of the cancelled Fourth Ring Road (ru), Lomonosovsky Prospekt is a busy chord connecting radial streets, with major crossings such as Leninsky Prospekt and Prospekt Vernadskogo (Moscow).
The avenue is serviced by one metro station, Universitet, built in 1959. Another station, bearing the same name as the avenue, is currently (as of 2016) under construction.
