Tovstyi Lis is a village in Ukraine, in the Ivankiv district of the Kyiv region. Until 1986 it was located in the Chornobyl district of Kyiv region (32 km from the former district centre of Chornobyl).
Before the accident, the village was home to 626 people.

In May 1986, the residents of Tovstyi Lis were resettled to the villages of Havronshchyna and Plakhtyanka in Makariv district of Kyiv region due to significant radioactive contamination caused by the Chornobyl accident. In 1999, the village was excluded from the register due to the absence of residents.
