Demydiv (Ukrainian: Демидів; Russian: Демидов) is a village in Vyshhorod Raion, Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine. It belongs to Dymer settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Demydiv lies on the western bank of the Irpin River, north of Kyiv. It is one of the oldest villages in Ukraine, founded in 1026.[citation needed]

Until the building of the Irpin's Kozarovychi Dam in 1960, the landscape of Demydiv was largely swamp and marshland.[2]

During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it was flooded by breaking the dam on 25 February 2022 to hinder Russian advances towards Kyiv.[3]
