Samar (Ukrainian: Самар) is a neighborhood of the Samarskyi District (urban district) of the city of Dnipro in southern Ukraine. It is located at the mouth of Samara River on its right bank where the river enters Dnieper. Samar, originally a Cossack settlement, was destroyed in 17th century and consequently rebuilt in a different location, and is thus sometimes called Old Samar (Ukrainian: Стара Самар) to distinguish it from the New Samar.
