Borzna (Ukrainian: Борзна, pronounced [borzˈnɑ]), also referred to as Borsna,[citation needed] is a city in Nizhyn Raion, Chernihiv Oblast, northern Ukraine.

Evidence of settlement in the area of present-day Borzna dates back to the Neolithic era, with Bronze Age and Scythian remains also having been unearthed.

The area had been part of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (in the Kijów Voivodeship of the Crown of Poland) since before the Union of Lublin.

Ivan Korsak, the sotnyk (group leader of a sotnia) of the city of Borzna received nobility on October 1, 1684.

On January 18, 1942, the Germans, with the support of Ukrainian police, rounded up all the local Jews they could find and massacred them at Shapovalivka.

Borzna has a concert hall (The House of Culture), Museum of Oleksandr Sayenko (an original artist who, despite being deaf and dumb, gained prominence by inventing his own technique of creating pictures out of straw), Museum of History, and an historical-memorial complex Hannyna Pustyn (commemorating a famous Ukrainian writer and activist of the 19th century Panteleimon Kulish and a peasant life writer Hanna Barvinok,[10] (husband and wife) which is a ten-minute drive away in the nearby village of Motronivka.

The local newspaper the Visti Borznyanshchyny (English: The Borzna Herald) is published twice a week.
