The Verkhovna Rada building (Ukrainian: Будинок Верховної Ради, romanizedBudynok Verkhovnoi Rady) is located in the center of Kyiv, in the Pecherskyi District. The building is located at the Constitution Square.

It is the place where the Ukrainian parliament (Verkhovna Rada) meets for all regular and ceremonial sessions. The building was erected between 1936–38 to a design by Volodymyr Zabolotnyi in the Socialist Classicalist architectural style.[1] Zabolotny was awarded the State Prize for that project in 1940 and was appointed the chief architect of the city.

The building is located on the eastern side of Hrushevsky Street, across from the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine building, and is surrounded by the Mariinskyi Palace, Mariinskyi Park, and a pedestrian park square. From the square, the building, and the palace are seen next to each other, along with views from the Kyiv heights to the left-bank neighborhoods across the Dnieper River.
