Nyzhniy Turiv (Ukrainian: Нижній Турів, Polish: Tureczki Niżne) is a village (selo) in Turka Raion, Lviv Oblast, in south-west Ukraine.

The village was established in 1556. An Orthodox church was probably built soon afterwards. The currently standing wooden Orthodox church was built in 1914, in the Ukrainian national style.[1]
