Zelenograd (lit. green city) is a city and administrative okrug of Moscow, Russia.^[1] The city of Zelenograd and the territory under its jurisdiction form the Zelenogradsky Administrative Okrug (ZelAO), an exclave located within Moscow Oblast north-west of central Moscow along the Leningradskoye Shosse highway. Zelenograd is the smallest administrative okrug of Moscow by area, one from bottom by population, and the largest Moscow exclave by area and population within Moscow Oblast.^[1] The city of Zelenograd, if it were a separate settlement, would be 5th largest city in Moscow Oblast and one of the 100 largest cities of Russia. Before the expansion of the territory of Moscow in 2012, Zelenograd occupied the second place among the administrative districts of Moscow, second only to the Eastern administrative district in terms of the share of greenery in the total area (~ 30%).

Zelenograd was founded in 1958 as a new town in the Soviet Union, developed as a center of electronics, microelectronics and the computer industry known as "Soviet/Russian Silicon Valley", and remains an important center of electronics in modern Russia. The city color is green and its emblematic animal is the squirrel.
