Myrnohrad (Ukrainian: Мирноград, pronounced [mɪrnoˈɦrɑd] ⓘ; Russian: Мирноград, romanized: Mirnograd), formerly Dymytrov until 2016, is a city in Pokrovsk Raion, Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine. It was a city of regional significance before the status was abolished in 2020. The city had 46,098 (2022 estimate) inhabitants. Warfare evacuations reduced the civilian population to 1,658 (2024 estimate).
The city was previously named after Georgi Dimitrov, a prominent Bulgarian and Soviet communist politician, but was renamed in 2016 as a result of decommunization laws.
