Dołhobyczów (pronounced as /pl/; Ukrainian: Довгобичів) is a village in Hrubieszów County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland, close to the border with Ukraine.[2] It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Dołhobyczów. It lies approximately 28km (17miles) south-east of Hrubieszów and 1270NaN0 south-east of the regional capital Lublin.

During the January Uprising, a clash between Polish insurgents and Russian troops took place in Dołhobyczów on 3 January 1864.[3]

Road border crossing between Poland and Ukraine was opened temporarily in nearby village Dołhobyczów-Kolonia during Euro 2012 and on 24 June 2014 the permanent crossing was completed. Since 2015 the crossing is available for cars, coaches, trucks under 3.5 tonnes of mass, bikes and pedestrians.
