Chornukhy (Ukrainian: Чорнýхи; Russian: Чернýхи) is a rural settlement in Lubny Raion, Poltava Oblast, central Ukraine.

[citation needed] It has been assumed that Chornukhy was initially a fortress built to protect against the Pechenegs and the Cumans and was established at the time of the Kievan Rus' state, but at the end of the 13th century it was destroyed by Mongol-Tatars.

On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Chornukhy became a rural settlement.
