Sophia Square or Sofia Square (Ukrainian: Софійська площа, romanized: Sofiiska ploshcha) is a square in the center of Old Kyiv, Ukraine. Located in the Shevchenkivskyi District of Kyiv, the square lies in front of Saint Sophia Cathedral, is bordered by Volodymyrska Street, and features a monument of Bohdan Khmelnytsky.

The city's Christmas and New Year's festivities have been held in this square since 2014, after they were moved from Maidan Nezalezhnosti due to the events of Euromaidan.^[1]
