Nemyriv (Ukrainian: Немирів; also referred to as Nemirov) is a historic city in the Vinnytsia Oblast (province) of western Ukraine. It is the administrative center of the Nemyrivsky Raion (district).

It is a minor industrial center with a current estimated population is around 10,000.

The distiller company that produces world-famous Ukrainian Nemiroff vodka is located in Nemyriv.

Nemyriv was built on the site of ancient Scythian settlement Myriv destroyed during the Mongol invasion of Rus. It was first mentioned under its modern name in 1506.

Notable events of Cossack wars happened in the town through 17th century.

In 1737, an abortive congress was held in Nemyriv, aimed at the conclusion of peace between the emperors of Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Ottoman Turkey, and bringing an end to the Russo-Turkish War of 1735-1739.

Before the World War II, Nemyriv had a large Jewish community. In the 19th century it was one of the centers of Breslov Hasidism, being the birthplace and home of Nathan of Breslov ("Reb Noson"), the foremost disciple and scribe of rebbe Nachman of Breslov. After Nachman's death in 1810, Reb Noson moved to Bratslav to disseminate and publish his teachings from there.

Ukrainian writer Marko Vovchok and geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky were born in the town in the 19th century.

The town's tourist attractions include a late 19th century palace and a park complex.
