Moskalenki (ru|Москаленки) is an urban-type settlement in the Moskalensky District in Omsk Oblast, Russia. In 2017 the population was 9,271.
Moskalenki is located on the Trans-Siberian Railway. It is located next to Yekaterinovka, Golbshtadt, and 86 kilometers (53 mi) west of Omsk, the administrative center of the oblast.
The place was founded for the railway station Kotshubayevo in 1894 and was renamed into Moskalenki in 1905. Villages were built around the railway station which were called Olgino and changed its name to Moskalenki (like the railway station) in 1969
