Pidhaitsi (Ukrainian: Підгайці, IPA: [pidˈɦɑjtsi]; Polish: Podhajce; Yiddish: פּידײַיִץ, romanizedPidayitz) is a small city in Ternopil Raion, Ternopil Oblast, western Ukraine. It is located approximately 15.5 miles (24.9 km) south of Berezhany, 43.5 miles (70.0 km) from Ternopil, and 62 miles (100 km) south-east of Lviv. In 1939, Pidhaitsi obtained the formal status of a city.[1] It hosts the administration of Pidhaitsi urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[2][3] Population: 2,609 (2022 estimate).[4]

Many of the current residents have the surname Koropetskyi/Koropetska, likely attributable to the city's proximity to the Koropets River.
