Petrykivka (Ukrainian: Петриківка) is a rural settlement in Dnipro Raion, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, east-central Ukraine.

[1] Petrykivka is famous as a folk art centre and for its unique style of decorative painting, which is inscribed by UNESCO as significant Intangible Cultural Heritage of Ukraine.

According to a legend, the settlement was founded by the Cossack Petryk, who gathered under his protection the serfs from the local villages.

Petrykivka was first mentioned in historical documents in 1772, when the residents of neighbouring Kurylivka village asked Kosh Otaman Petro Kalnyshevsky to move their Orthodox Chapel to a safer place because of flooding.

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