Kalyniv (Калинів, Russian: Калинов, German: Kaisersdorf, Polish: Kalinów) is a village (selo) in Sambir Raion, Lviv Oblast, in south-west Ukraine. It belongs to Novyi Kalyniv urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1]

The village was established in the course of Josephine colonization by German Roman Catholic settlers in 1783.[2] In the planning process the village was to have a Catholic church built, which, however, did not happen.[3]

From 1918 to 1939 the village was in Lwów Voivodeship in Poland. In 1940 the local German population was moved out (Heim ins Reich), later replaced by Ukrainians.
