'''Fastiv''' ({{langx|uk|Фастів}}, {{IPA|uk|ˈfɑstiu̯|ipa}}) is a [[city]] in the [[Kyiv Oblast]] ([[Oblast|province]]) in central [[Ukraine]]. On older maps it is depicted as '''Khvastiv''' ({{langx|pl|Chwastów}}, {{Langx|uk|Хвастів}}). Administratively, it serves as the administrative centre of the [[Fastiv Raion]] ([[Raion|district]]), to which it does not administratively belong. Fastiv hosts the administration of [[Fastiv urban hromada]], one of the [[hromada]]s of Ukraine.<ref name="admreform_2020_fastiv_city">{{cite web|title= Фастовская городская громада |url=https://gromada.info/ru/obschina/fastivska/ |work=Gromada.info|language= ru|accessdate= 2 June 2022}}</ref> Its population is approximately {{Ua-pop-est2022|44,014|.}}

Lying on conjunction of [[railway]] lines, Fastiv is an important [[Railway station|node station]] on the rail route from central [[Europe]] to [[Russia]] and [[Asia]]. On 1 December 1918 at the Fastiv train station delegations of the [[Ukrainian People's Republic]] and the [[West Ukrainian People's Republic]] signed the Unification Act uniting territories of Ukraine that were split between Austrian and Russian empires.

Beside transportation industry, [[Brewing]] and [[machinery]] industry are also present, although the majority of inhabitants are employed by [[Ukrzaliznytsia]]'s 12 railway installations in the city.
