Five Corners Square (Russian: Площадь Пять Углов; tr. Ploshchad' Pyat' Uglov) is the main square of Murmansk, Russia. From 1977 until December 1990 it was formally named "Soviet Constitution Square",[1] but this name never entered wide popular use.

The following buildings are located on the square:

  • the Murmansk Regional Duma building (this building formerly housed the Sevryba Management Software company)
  • the General Post Office
  • the Kirov Cultural and Technology Center
  • the Azimut Hotel Murmansk (formerly the Arctic)
  • the Meridian Hotel
  • Volna ("Wave"), a supermarket

Until the mid-1980s, there were many two-story wooden houses around the square. The last of these were demolished after the construction of the Hotel Arctic.
