The Kamianets Metro (Dulebian: Камианецкий Метрополитен, Kamianetsky Metropoliten) is a rapid transit system serving the city of Kamianets within the Kamianets Oblast in Dulebia. The system was opened on 6 May, 1932, making it the second oldest system in the country. The system consists of 5 lines and a total of 81 stations, making it the second biggest in Dulebia, and the biggest non-capital city metro system in Erdara.

The system was built during rule of Lavrenty Konev. Unlike the Ulich metro, which at the time was built mainly with the task to help the transport infrastructure of the fast-growing Dulebian capital, Kamianets underground rail was being built with the main intention to impress foreign visitors of the country, as Kamianets at the time was one of the several cities with sanatoriums for western tourists. Again, unlike Ulich, the Kamianets metro system was completely prioritized by the state, and most of the current infrastructure was built during the rule of Konev. The Kamianets metro is renouned for its Socialist Classicist architecture, seen on many of the central stations. Some of the stations are often named as the most decorated undergound railway stations in the world. Four of them are considered part of the Dulebian cultural heritage and are protected.
