Novomykhailivka (Ukrainian: Новомихайлівка [ˌnowomɪˈxɑjl⁽ʲ⁾iu̯kɐ]; Russian: Новомихайловка) is a village in Pokrovsk Raion in Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine, 39.8 km southwest of the centre of Donetsk city. The village was home to the Miracle of Archangel Michael Church (Ukrainian: Храм Дива Архангела Михаїла, romanized: Khram Dyva Arkhangela Mykhaila) of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. The church, built in 1907 using donations, was closed and turned into storage by the Soviet authorities in 1932, although restoration works began in the late 1980s.
With Novomykhailivka being close to the front line of the War in Donbas, there has been fighting in and around the village during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The village was completely destroyed as a result of fighting by January 2024. On 28 April 2024, the village was captured by Russia.
