The Besarabsky Market ( _uk. Бесарабський ринок, translit.: "Besarabs'kyi rynok"), also frequently called Besarabka ( _uk. Бесарабка) is an indoor market located in the center of Kiev at the south-west end of Khreshchatyk, the main and best known street of the city.

The market was built from 1910-1912 to the design of H. Hay.

The name of the market originates from Bessarabia, a region conquered by the Russian Empire during the Russo-Turkish Wars and now partially located at south-western Ukraine in the Odessa Oblast.
