Subotiv ( _uk. Суботів) is a village ("selo") in central Ukraine. It is located in the Chyhyrynskyi Raion (district) of the Cherkasy Oblast (province), near Chyhyryn city.

The village is located on the right bank of Tiasmyn River, one of tributary of Dnieper, 7 km from Chyhyryn, 21 km from Adamivka river port, and 38 km from Fundukliivka train station. A local auto road 2414 runs through the village.

The village name, Subotiv, according to one legend, took its roots from a live fire from oak firewood (known as "subotka") that was in front of Perun. According to another legend, it came from the name of the place where water from two tributaries combines (know as "subod'").

Subotiv is the birthplace of the Ukrainian Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky.
