The station is named for the street on which it is situated, Ulitsa Panfilova. Ulitsa Panfilova is named for Ivan Panfilov, a Soviet general at the Battle of Moscow in World War 2.[2] During construction, the station's name was slated to be Khodynka; however, prior to the line's opening, the city changed the name, citing resident requests.[3]

Panfilovskaya offers out-of-station transfers to Oktyabrskoye Pole on the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line, 700 metres (2,300 ft) away.
