Burshtyn (Ukrainian: Бурштин, IPA: [bʊrʃˈtɪn] ⓘ) is a city located in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, in western Ukraine, to the north of Halych.

[citation needed] In the second half of the 16th century, the town belonged to the Polish noble Skarbek.

In October 1629, a famous battle took place near the city, in which the registered Cossacks and the crown army under the command of Stefan Chmielecki defeated the Tatar attackers led by Salamet-Geray, who were returning with loot from the Belz land.

German troops entered Burshtyn in July, but in a few weeks the Ukrainian militia were in control.

Ukrainians drank and celebrated throughout the night, while Jews were beaten on the street and their properties looted.

When the Germans took control, they established a ghetto and conscripted Jews for forced labor in the town and elsewhere.

The municipality was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast to six.
