TheKyiv River Port (Ukrainian:Київський річковий порт;translit.Kyivskyi richkovyi port) is the mainriver port of theUkrainian capitalKyiv, located on the right bank of theDnieper River in thePodil neighborhood of the city.

Since ancient times, the Podil neighborhood was an important trade center, especially by water routes.
Around the 19th century,steamboats started to navigate along the Dnieper, and a row ofquays were built along the Right Bank of the river.
