Baranivka (Ukrainian: Баранівка, IPA: [bɐˈrɑniu̯kɐ] ⓘ; Russian: Барановка; Polish: Baranówka; Yiddish: באראניווקע, romanized: Baranivke) is a city in Zviahel Raion in the Zhytomyr Oblast of Ukraine.

The name either comes from the old Slavic language, where *bara means swamp, or from Old East Slavic, where baran means ram.

The Slavic meaning of the word is given not coincidentally as the town is located in close proximity to the Prypiat Marshes.

In Zhytomyr Oblast, between Zviahel and Korosten, there is another small town of Barashi, about 50 km northeast from Baranivka.
