Staromykhailivka (Ukrainian: Старомихайлівка), sometimes transcribed as Staromikhailovka (Russian: Старомихайловка), is an urban-type settlement in the Marinka Raion, Donetsk Oblast. Staromykhailivka is located 20 km west of Donetsk; population: 5337 (2011).[1]

Starting Mid-April 2014 pro-Russian separatists captured several towns in Donetsk Oblast;[2][3] including Staromykhailivka.[4] On 2 August 2014 the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine confirmed reports that Ukrainian forces had recaptured control of Staromykhailivka from pro-Russian insurgents.[5][6]

As of October 2016 the settlement was under control of pro-Russian forces.[7]
