Horodchan (Horodchany until the mid-20th century) is a former village in Ukraine, 15 km from the Chornobyl nuclear power plant and 30 km from the former district centre - the city of Chornobyl, in Ivankiv district of Kyiv region, on the border with Belarus. Until 1986, it was part of the Chornobyl district and was the centre of the village council.
On the eve of the Chornobyl accident, the village was home to about 240 residents.

After the accident on 26 April 1986, the village was resettled due to severe contamination. It was officially deregistered in 1999.
