Rozizhdzhe was a former village in the Ivankiv district of Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine. It was officially deregistered due to the evacuation of its residents following the Chornobyl nuclear disaster.

The village has been known as a settlement since the mid-17th century. It was located 24 km from the former district center, the city of Chornobyl.

During Soviet times, Rozizhdzhe was administratively subordinate to the Stechanka village council. Before the Chornobyl disaster, the village had 237 residents and 110 households.

After the disaster, due to severe radioactive contamination, the village was evacuated, and its residents were relocated to the villages of Arkadiivka and Paskivshchyna in the Zghurivka district.
