Zalishchyky (Ukrainian: Залiщики, translit. Zalishchyky; Russian: Залещики, translit. Zaleshchiki; Polish: Zaleszczyki; Yiddish: זאַלישטשיק, translit. Zalishtshik; Hebrew: זָלִישִיק/זָלִישִיקִי/זָאלְשצִ'יקִי, translit. Zalishtziki/Zalishiki/Zalishik; also spelled Zalischyky) is a small city located on the Dniester river in the southern part of the Ternopil Oblast (province), in western Ukraine. It is the administrative center of the Zalishchyky Raion (district).
In 2001, its estimated population was around 10,100.
Zalishchyky's name, as well as its precursors Zalissia and Zalishche, derive from the Ukrainian word for the witch-hazel shrub (Ukrainian: за ліщиною, translit. za lishchynoyu). The name is attributed to Zalishchyky's initial settlers.
