Mezhova (Ukrainian: Межова; Russian: Межевая) is a rural settlement in Synelnykove Raion, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Mezhova settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. Population: 7,022 (2022 estimate).

History

Until 18 July 2020, Mezhova was the administrative center of Mezhova Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to seven. The area of Mezhova Raion was merged into Synelnykove Raion.

Until 26 January 2024, Mezhova was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Mezhova became a rural settlement.

Russo-Ukrainian War

On 16 August 2023, a Russian missile attack on the settlement killed an 18-year old man and injured 6 people, according to Serhiy Lysak, governor of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. The Russian military claimed that its missile attack destroyed a Ukrainian military train carrying ammunition.
