Trukhaniv Island (Ukrainian: Труханів острів, translit.: Trukhaniv ostriv) is an island located on the Dnieper River opposite the historic Podil neighbourhood of the city of Kiev.

The island is located at the north side where Dnieper enters premises of Kiev city, with its north part extending some distance north towards the mouth of Desna River. It is located in confluence of both Desna River and Dnieper River. Situated up the stream of Dnieper within the city of Kiev, the island starts a system of Dnieper River islands which ends with the Olzhyn Island. Up the stream of Dnieper River to the north of Trukhaniv is located the Great Island (Velykyi), to the east along Desenka is Lopukhovaty, down the stream to the south are located Venetsiansky and Dolobetsky islands. There are also several other smaller islands located around the Trukhaniv Island.

The island is separated from the righ-bank Kiev by Dnieper and from the left-bank Kiev by Desenka which is a distributary of Desna River, making Trukhaniv island part of its river delta. The Trukhaniv island is split by another distributary called Bobrovnia which serves a conditional border between territory of Vyshhorod Raion and the Kiev city. Technically Bobrovnia splits the island into Ilya Muromets Island (north, in Vyshhorod Raion) and Trukhaniv Island (south, in Kiev). The Kiev's portion of island administratively is part of Dniprovsky city district.
