List of historic reserves in Ukraine

Historic-cultural reserves (Ukrainian: Історико-культурні заповідники) are defined under Ukrainian law as ensembles and complexes of monuments (landmarks) that collectively possess cultural, historic, or scientific value, and are thus placed under protection of the state. Such a reserve may be limited to a single populated place or a region. Historic reserves can be historic-architectural, architectural-historic, historic-memorial, historic-archaeological, or historic-ethnographic depending on the dominant type of monuments that make up the reserve.^[1] Some historic reserves are officially listed by the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine and usually known as national. However, there are other historic reserves that are established by regional state administrations and other bodies.

This list includes museum-reserves (museums that were also designated as historic reserves) that are directly subordinated to the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications or regional state administrations. However, it excludes other museum-reserves, notably those managed by Borys Voznytsky Lviv National Art Gallery.^[a] Other similar entities that are not officially named reserves are excluded as well (e.g., Historic-Archaeological Museum Complex "Ancient Liubech", Cultural-Archaeological Center "Peresopnytsia", and Historic-Cultural Complex "Radomysl Castle-Museum").
