Kostiantynivka is an industrial city in Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine. Kostiantynivka is considered the capital of the glass industry of Ukraine. Together with neighboring cities, it forms the Kramatorsk agglomeration. During the Soviet era, the city developed into a major centre for the production of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, glass, iron, zinc, steel, chemical, and construction industries, as well as an important transit railway junction. It was the administrative center of the Kostiantynivka Raion until 2020, although it did not belong to it.
After the raion was abolished, Kostiantynivka was incorporated into the Kramatorsk Raion and Kostiantynivka urban hromada. Its population is approximately 67,350. The population declined sharply due to Russian offensives towards the city, from ~15,000 in February 2025, ~8500 in July 2025, to ~6800 in August 2025. In late 2025, the city became an active battleground between Russian and Ukrainian military forces. By early 2026, the Donetsk Regional State Administration estimated the population of Kostiantynivka at ~2,800.

Kostiantynivka Raion was one of the administrative raions of Donetsk Oblast in eastern Ukraine. It covered approximately 4.4 percent of the oblast's total area.
The raion was created on 7 March 1923 as part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Its administrative center was the city of Kostiantynivka, although the city itself was not administratively part of the Kostiantynivka Raion and was incorporated as a city of oblast significance. The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Donetsk Oblast to eight, of which only five were controlled by the government. The last estimate of the raion population was 17,166. The 2001 Ukrainian Census gave the population of 21,132.
