Masheve (until the early 20th century — Mashiv) is an abandoned village in Ukraine, located 13 km from the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant and 30 km from the former district center, the city of Chornobyl, in the Ivankiv district of Kyiv Oblast. Until 1986, it was part of the Chornobyl district. The village is situated near the border with Belarus.

One of the earliest written mentions of the village dates back to 1685. In ancient times, there was a church in the village, which was later relocated to the neighboring village of Krasne.

Before the Chornobyl disaster, the village had 292 residents and 161 households.

After the disaster on April 26, 1986, the village was evacuated due to severe contamination, and its residents were relocated to the villages of Lukashi and Rudnytske in the Baryshivka district. The village was officially removed from records in 1999.
