'''Drohobych''' ({{langx|uk|Дрогобич}}, {{IPA|uk|droˈɦɔbɪtʃ|pron|audio=Uk-Дрогобич.ogg}}; {{langx|pl|Drohobycz}} {{IPA|pl|drɔˈxɔ.bɨt͡ʂ||audio=Pl-Drohobycz.ogg}}; {{langx|yi|{{Script/Hebrew|דראָהאָביטש}}|drohobitsh}}) is a [[city]] in the south of [[Lviv Oblast]], [[Ukraine]]. It is the administrative center of [[Drohobych Raion]] and hosts the administration of [[Drohobych urban hromada]], one of the [[hromada]]s of Ukraine.<ref name="admreform_2020_drohobych">{{cite web |title=Дрогобычская городская громада |url=https://gromada.info/ru/obschina/drogobych/ |publisher=Портал об'єднаних громад України |language=ru}}</ref> In 1939–1941 and 1944–1959 it was the center of [[Drohobych Oblast]].

Drohobych was founded at the end of the eleventh century as an important trading post and transport node between [[Kievan Rus']] and the lands to the West of Rus'. After extinction of the local Ruthenian dynasty and subsequent incorporation of the [[Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia]] into the [[Kingdom of Poland (1025–1385)|Polish Kingdom]] by 1349, from the fifteenth century the city developed as a mercantile and saltworks centre. Drohobych became part of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 after the first [[Partitions of Poland|partition of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth]]. In the mid-nineteenth century it became Europe's largest oil extraction center, which significantly contributed to its rapid development. In the renascent, [[Second Polish Republic|interwar Poland]] it was the center of a county within the [[Lwów Voivodeship]]. As an outcome of World War II, the city was incorporated into the [[Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic|Ukrainian part of the Soviet Union]], which in 1991 became the independent [[Ukraine]].

The city was the birthplace of such well-known personalities as [[Elisabeth Bergner]], [[Yuriy Drohobych]] (Kotermak), [[Ivan Franko]] and [[Bruno Schulz]]. The city has several oil refineries. The [[Drohobych salt plant|Drohobych saltworks]] are considered to be the oldest in Europe. The estimated population of Drohobych is {{Ua-pop-est2022|73,682|}}, making it the second largest city in Lviv Oblast.
