Livoberezhnyi neighborhood (Ukrainian: Лівобережний масив) or commonly known as Livoberezhna (Ukrainian: Лівобережна) is a residential neighborhood of the Ukrainian capital Kiev.[1] The neighborhood is administratively a part of the Dnipro Raion, and is located on the city's left bank (which it is named for).

The neighborhood is surrounded by the Dnipro River to its west, Darnytsia to its north and east, Berezniaky to its southeast, and Rusanivka to its south. It was created in the 1960s-1970s on the territory of the Mykilska Slobidka, a former settlement on the outskirts of Kiev.[2][3][4]
