The Holy Dormition Pochaiv Lavra, also sometimes known as the Pochaiv Monastery, is a monastery and lavra in Pochaiv, Kremenets Raion, Ternopil Oblast, Ukraine. The monastery tops a 60-metre hill in the town of Pochaiv, 18 km southwest of Kremenets and 70 km north of Ternopil.
The Pochaiv Lavra has been an important spiritual and ideological centre of Eastern Orthodoxy until 1720, then of Greek Catholicism until 1831, after which it once again became Orthodox. In December 2023, after years of disputes, a ruling by the Supreme Court of Ukraine gave the Orthodox Church of Ukraine the spiritual control of the monastery.
