Kamianets-Podilskyi (Ukrainian: Ка́м'яне́ць-Поді́льський, translit. Kám'ianets'-Podíl's’kyi or Kamyanets-Podilsky, Polish: Kamieniec Podolski, Romanian Camenița, Russian: Каменец-Подольский, translit. Kamenets-Podolskiy; Yiddish: קאמענעץ־פאדאלסק) (see Nomenclature section below for more names) is a city on the Smotrych River in western Ukraine, to the north-east of Chernivtsi.
Formerly the administrative center of the Khmelnytskyi Oblast, the city is now the administrative center of the Kamianets-Podilskyi Raion (district) within the Khmelnytskyi Oblast (province), after the administrative center of the oblast was moved from the city of Kamianets-Podilskyi to the city of Khmelnytskyi in 1941. The city itself is also designated as a separate district within the region.
The current estimated population is around 101,728 (2015).
The first part of the city's dual name originates from kamin' (Ukrainian: камiнь) or kamen, meaning "stone" in the Old East Slavic language. The second part of the name relates to the historic region of Podolia (Ukrainian: Подíлля, Polish: Podole) of which Kamianets-Podilskyi is considered to be the historic capital.
