Klimovsk (Russian: Климовск, IPA: [ˈklʲiməfsk]) is a city in Podolsk Urban Okrug, Moscow Oblast, Russia, located 55 kilometers (34 mi) south of Moscow and 8 kilometers (5.0 mi) south of Podolsk.^[5] Population: 56,186 (2010 Census);^[2] 55,644 (2002 Census);^[6] 56,720 (1989 Soviet census).^[7]

Klimovsk was founded in the first half of the 19th century as a village with the name of Klimovka (Кли́мовка), which was close to the Moscow–Serpukhov–Tula road.^{[citation needed]} The basic employment of the peasants was agriculture and cattle breeding.

It was renamed Klimovsk in 1883 and granted town status on October 7, 1940.^{[citation needed]} The occurrence and development of Klimovsk is closely connected to the history of a machine-building factory. The Moscow–Kursk railway laid in the immediate proximity of the village has allowed a group of manufacturers in 1882 to begin here the construction of a factory for the manufacture of spare parts for the weaving looms necessary for the cotton-mills of the central provinces of Russia.

When its status as a town was abolished in 2015, it became part of the city of Podolsk. It was the only inhabited locality of the former Klimovsk Urban Okrug.
