Teplodar (Ukrainian: Теплодар) is a small city of regional significance within Biliaivka Raion, Odessa Oblast, Ukraine. Population is 8,830 (2001).

The city of Teplodar was founded on 15 May 1981. The intent of the city was to provide housing for the workers of an atomic thermal power station very close to the city which would provide power for Odesa. The development of the city was halted in 1986 after the Chernobyl disaster. In 1997 the construction of the station was completely canceled.

The city is located next to Baraboi Reservoir located along the Baraboi River.
