The Ukrainian Carpathians ({{langx|uk|Українські Карпати|Ukrainski Karpaty}}) are a section of the Eastern Carpathians, within the borders of modern Ukraine. They are located in the southwestern corner of Western Ukraine, within administrative territories of four Ukrainian regions (oblasts), covering northeastern part of Zakarpattia Oblast, southwestern part of Lviv Oblast, southern half of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast and western half of Chernivtsi Oblast.[http://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CV%5CO%5CVolcanicUkrainianCarpathians.htm Encyclopedia of Ukraine: Volcanic Ukrainian Carpathians]

They are stretching in a general northwest–southeast direction, starting at the tripartite border point of Ukraine with Poland and Slovakia, and continuing towards the Ukrainian border with Romania. In terms of geological classification, Ukrainian Carpathians belong to two distinctive categories, with the major part belonging to the Outer Eastern Carpathians and the minor part to the Inner Eastern Carpathians.

Within different regional and national traditions, there are several overlapping variants of divisions and designations for various Eastern Carpathian mountain ranges. Within the wider scope of the Ukrainian Carpathians, a section of the Outer Eastern Carpathians spanning the southeastern corner of Poland, the northeastern corner of Slovakia, and the western part of Ukraine is commonly known as the Eastern Beskids ({{langx|uk|Східні Бескиди}}; {{langx|pl|Beskidy Wschodnie}}), while in Slovakia the term Meadowed Mountains ({{langx|sk|Poloniny}}) is also used for the same mountain range. The scope of those terms varies in accordance with different traditions and classifications.
