Pisky (Ukrainian: Піски; Russian: Пески, romanizedPeski) is a destroyed rural settlement in Pokrovsk Raion, Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine. It is located about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) northwest from the center of the administrative center of the oblast, Donetsk, and about two kilometres (1.2 mi) from the western border of Donetsk International Airport. Before 2014, the village was a former wealthy suburb of Donetsk.[1] It had a population of 2,160 in the 2001 census, but most residents left during the war in Donbas, with only 9 people remaining as of 2019.[2] In 2022, the village came under Russian occupation following a battle.

As of 2024, the settlement has no permanent residents and is considered to be destroyed and abandoned.
