Le cimetière de Lytchakiv (en ukrainien : Личаківський цвинтар, Lytchakivsky tvyntar), anciennement cimetière de Łyczakow en français (en polonais : Cmentarz Łyczakowski), est la plus ancienne nécropole historique de Lviv, située sur les collines de la partie orientale de la ville. Elle a été aménagée à la fin du XVIIIe siècle dans un environnement verdoyant et très boisé, sur ordre de l’empereur Joseph II d’Autriche qui ne voulait plus de cimetières autour des églises dans la ville.
