Markhalivka (Ukrainian: Мархалівка) is a village in Fastiv Raion[1] of Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine.[2] [3] It belongs to Hlevakha settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[4] The population is 1316 people.

The village is located 2 km east of the Highway M05 (Ukraine), and 2 km west of the Village of Ivankovichi. The distance to Kyiv is about 30 km, and the distance to Vasylkiv is 14 km.

The area of Vasylkiv Raion was split between Bila Tserkva, Fastiv, and Obukhiv Raions, with Markhalivka being transferred to Fastiv Raion.[5] [6]
