Marhanets (Ukrainian: Марганець [ˈmɑrɦɐnetsʲ], lit. 'Manganese') is a city in Nikopol Raion, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine. The city used to be located on the right bank of the Kakhovka Reservoir before the Reservoir’s destruction during the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the Dnieper River where the river meets one of its tributaries, the Tomakivka. Marhanets hosts the administration of Marhanets urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. Its population is approximately 44,980 (2022 estimate).
It was established in 1938 in place of the village of Horodyshche, a manganese mining town which was called Komintern from 1926 to 1938.
