Domodedovo (Russian: Домоде́дово, IPA: [dɘmɘ'dʲedɘvɘ]) is a town in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located some 37 km south of Moscow. Population: 82,300 (2005 est.); 54,088 (2002 Census); 55,294 (1989 Census). The increase of population with respect to the last census is due to merging three neighbouring settlements into the town in 2004.

Domodedovo was founded in 1900 as a settlement next to a railroad station under the same name. The town was called after a nearby village of Domodedovo, which is known to have existed since 1410. The town was granted town status in 1947. The Domodedovo International Airport is located a few kilometers away from Domodedovo.
