Slavutych (Ukrainian: Славутич) is a city in northern Ukraine, purpose-built for the evacuated personnel of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant after the 1986 disaster that occurred near the city of Prypiat.

Built in 1986 as a direct replacement for Pripiat in order to house the remaining workers at the Chornobyl plant.
Despite still being inside the Zone of Alienation, Soviet authorities laid down 2 meters of clean soil over the contaminated ground in order to build the city.

Geographically located within Chernihiv Raion (district) of Chernihiv Oblast (region) of Ukraine, Slavutych is administratively subordinated to the Kyiv Oblast (region) and is part of Vyshhorod Raion (district).
It hosts the administration of Slavutych City Hromada (community).
