List of cities in Chernihiv Oblast

There are 16 populated places in Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine, that have been officially granted city status (Ukrainian: місто, romanized: misto) by the Verkhovna Rada, the country's parliament.

[2] Settlements with more than 10,000 people are eligible for city status, although the status is typically also granted to settlements of historical or regional importance.

[6][7] Following the passing of decommunization laws, one city within the oblast, Snovsk, was renamed in 2016 from its previous name, Shchors, for its connection with people, places, events, and organizations associated with the Soviet Union.

[11][12][7] On 18 July 2020, an administrative reform abolished and merged the oblast's raions and cities of regional significance into five new, expanded raions.

[3][13] The five raions that make up the oblast are Chernihiv, Koriukivka, Nizhyn, Novhorod-Siverskyi, and Pryluky.
