Ladyzhychi (until the early 20th century — Ladyzhytsi) is an officially uninhabited village in the Ivankiv district of Kyiv Oblast, abandoned after the Chornobyl disaster. It is located 15 km from the former district center and 27 km from the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, situated on the Braginka River. Currently, 10 residents still live in the village.

Before the Chornobyl disaster, the village had a population of 483. After the catastrophe, its residents were relocated to the village of Sukachi in the Ivankiv district.

Since 1991, Ladyzhychi has been part of independent Ukraine. The village was officially removed from records in 1999.
