The Samistopol Metro (Soravian: Самiстопольські митрополит; Samistopol's'ki mytropolit), known locally as the Mytro is the rapid transit underground rail system serving the city of Samistopol, Soravia. The city is the most-used rapid transit system in Euclea by daily (~5-6 million) and annual ridership (~2 billion), and is the largest entirely-underground rapid transit system in the world.

The system opened in 1927, heavily inspired by the art deco movement, which can be seen across the network in its stations' facades and interiors, as well as the system's map, which became the first official schematic transit map when it was published in 1938. The Mytro is known for its distant station spacings, usually several kilometres, which expanded its reach to the environs extremely quickly.
