Severivka (Ukrainian: Северівка) is a former village in Korosten Raion, Zhytomyr Oblast, northern Ukraine. It was subordinated to the Lyubar village council. Due to radioactive contamination as a result of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, all of its residents were evicted.

The average radiation background in the Severivka is about 50-60 usv/hr. On 2 May 2018, a memorial plaque "Severivka is our native village" was installed by former villagers.
Severivka was previously located in Narodychi Raion until was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Zhytomyr Oblast to four. The area of Narodychi Raion was merged into Korosten Raion.
