Stara Krasnytsia was a former village in Ukraine, located in the Ivankiv district of Kyiv Oblast. It was officially removed from records due to the evacuation of its residents following the Chornobyl disaster. Until 1986, it was part of the Chornobyl district.

The village was situated 32 km from the former district center, Chornobyl, and 15 km from the Yaniv railway station.

It likely emerged in the first half of the 19th century and consisted of a single street. Administratively, it was part of the Illintsi village council.

Before the Chornobyl disaster, Stara Krasnytsia had a population of 69 residents and 38 households.

In 1986, due to severe radioactive contamination, the village was evacuated, and its residents were relocated to the villages of Zhovtneve, Pravo Zhovtnia, and Stara Orzhytsia in the Zghurivka district. The village was officially removed from records in 1999.
