Zmiiv or Zmiyiv (Ukrainian: Зміїв), Zmiev, or Zmeev (Russian: Змиёв, Зме́ев), also known as Gotwald (Ukrainian: Готвальд) from 1976 to 1990, is a city in Chuhuiv Raion, Kharkiv, Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Zmiiv urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[2] The population in 2001 was 17,063, falling to 13,737 (2022 estimate).[3]

The town is located 42 kilometres (26 mi) from Kharkiv. In 1976-1990, the city was called Gotwald in honor of the Czechoslovakian communist and politician Clement Gotwald.

Until 2020, Zmiiv was the administrative centre of Zmiiv Raion, before it was merged into Chuhuiv Raion as part of that year's administrative reform.
