The following is a list of place names in Canada (primarily Western Canada) whose name origin comes from the Ukrainian language or places in modern-day Ukraine. Some of these places, especially in Saskatchewan, were named by ethnic Germans from Ukraine.

Thumb
Railways of Galicia before 1897. Place names are in their Polish language form.

Most of these places were rural communities without a railway or grain elevator and accessible solely by gravel road; typically consisting only of a church and cemetery, post office, school, and sometimes a community/national hall, a grocery/"general" store or a blacksmith shop.
