Sviatoshyn (Ukrainian: Свято́шин [sʲw(j)ɐˈtɔʃɪn]; also Свято́шино[citation needed] or Свято́шине) is a historical neighborhood and a suburb of Ukraine's capital Kyiv that is located on the western edge of the city area, in an eponymous municipality.

Previously it was a dacha village (summer colony) in a pine grove which was included in the Kyiv city council area in 1919.[1]
