Vovchynets (Ukrainian: Вовчинець) is a village in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine. It was founded in 1469.
The village is located right next to the city of Ivano-Frankivsk bordering it at the northern side. The village is located at the confluence of three local rivers Bystrytsia of Nadvirna, Bystrytsia of Solotvyn, and Vorona. Another important geographical feature in the vicinity is the Vovchynets Mount. The mount covers an area of 30 hectares (74 acres). The rivers serve as a natural border for the village at all directions except of southern. Westward of the village across the Bystrytsia of Solotvyn are located villages of Uhryniv and Kluziv, eastward across Bystrytsia of Nadvirna and Vorona - Pidluzhia. A little further to the north is located a village of Kolodiivka. All of the surrounding villages are part of the Tysmenytsia Raion that surrounds the Ivano-Frankivsk municipality, to which belongs Vovchynets. Until 1952 Vovchynets used border other villages of Knyahynyn and Pasichna that eventually were incorporated into Ivano-Frankivsk.
