Chuhuiv Observational Station (or Chuguev Observational Station) of the Institute of Astronomy of Kharkiv National University is an astronomical observatory founded in the early 1960s near the village of Ivanovka, Chuhuiv Raion, Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine. The observatory conducted photometric observations of asteroids, searches for exoplanets, and meteor observations. The coherent optics laboratory made a significant contribution to the development of speckle interferometry methods.

In 2022, the observation station was severely damaged and looted by Russian occupiers.
