Slobozhanske (Ukrainian: Слобожанське, Russian: Слобожанское) is an urban-type settlement in Krasnohrad Raion of Kharkiv Oblast in Ukraine. It is located in the middle of the steppe, approximately 25 kilometres (16 mi) from Krasnohrad. Slobozhanske belongs to Kehychivka settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Population: 2,605 (2022 estimate).[2]

The settlement was called Chapaeve until 2016, in honour of Vasily Chapayev. On 5 February 2016, Verkhovna Rada adopted decision to rename Chapaeve to Slobozhanske according to the law prohibiting names of Communist origin.[3]

Until 18 July 2020, Slobozhanske belonged to Kehychivka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kharkiv Oblast to seven. The area of Kechyhivka Raion was merged into Krasnohrad Raion.[4][5]
