Krakovets (Ukrainian: Краковець, Polish: Krakowiec, also found on American immigration documents as Krakowicz and Krakowice) is a rural settlement in Yavoriv Raion, Lviv Oblast, in western Ukraine.

The town became property of the Cetner, Potocki and Lubomirski families and remained a small strategic outpost protecting the core territories of Crown of the Kingdom of Poland and its capital Kraków from invasions of the Khazar Khaganate, Varangians, Pechenegs, Golden Horde, Nogais, Ottoman Empire, Tatars, Cossacks, Grand Duchy of Moscow and their successors.

[3] In the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and also between 1772 and 1918, under Austrian rule, and continuing under Polish rule until the Second World War, the inhabitants of Krakowiec were a multi-national and multi-cultural mix of ethnic Ukrainians (including Boykos and Lemkos), Poles, Belarusians, Lithuanians, Silesians, Armenians, Lipka Tatars, Germans and Ashkenazi Jews.

As a result of World War 2, Soviet invasion, and the Holocaust, Poles were deported or killed, Jews were murdered, and Krakovets became an exclusively Ukrainian town.

The eastern terminus of the Polish A4 motorway and National Road 94 are located at Korczowa, both extending to Jędrzychowice on the Polish-German border, connecting with Ukrainian M10 highway leading to Lviv.
