Davydiv Brid (Ukrainian: Давидів Брід [dɐˈwɪd⁽ʲ⁾iu̯ ˈbr⁽ʲ⁾id]; lit. 'David's ford') is a village in Beryslav Raion, Kherson Oblast, southern Ukraine, about 76 kilometres (47 mi) northeast of the centre of Kherson city. It belongs to the Velyka Oleksandrivka settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. The village lies besides the Inhulets river. The border of Kherson Oblast with Mykolaiv Oblast runs on the north-west side of the village.
On March 12–13, 2022, the village was captured by Russian forces during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It was later the center of fighting in May and June, being captured by Ukrainian forces by 31 May but retaken by Russian forces on 17 June. The village was ultimately retaken by Ukrainian forces of the 35th Marine Brigade on 4 October, during the 2022 Ukrainian southern counteroffensive.
