Chasiv Yar (Ukrainian: Часів Яр, pronounced [ˈt͡ʃɑ.s⁽ʲ⁾iu̯ jɑr]) is a city in Bakhmut Raion, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. It is located 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) west of Bakhmut[4] and is the center of Chasiv Yar urban hromada. In January 2022, it had a population of 12,250,[3] though RBC News claimed the population in May 2024 had been reduced to 600 due to evacuations from Russian shelling and fighting within the city.[5]

The Siverskyi Donets – Donbas Canal runs through the east of Chasiv Yar. Just a small part of the city – the Kanal microdistrict – is east of the canal.
