List of Ukrainian Baroque stone churches
Ukrainian Baroque, also known as Cossack Baroque, is an architectural style that was widespread in the 17th–18th centuries, primarily within the Cossack Hetmanate. It combined the features of the late Renaissance and Baroque construction of neighboring countries with exclusively Ukrainian forms of folk wooden church architecture. At the end of the 17th and in the 18th centuries, local Ukrainian architecture felt a significant influence of the contemporary Russian Baroque, first Naryshkin, and then Elizabethan.
Churches in the Ukrainian Baroque style were built in various shapes and sizes. Typical buildings of multi-part multi-dome composition prevailed (three-, five-, seven- and nine-part, in the form of wooden churches), which differed only in decor. Large four- and six-column hall multi-nave cathedrals, small column-less churches and churches of original, unique composition are also known.
The list includes all of the known stone churches in the Ukrainian Baroque style, both preserved and lost. Destroyed buildings are highlighted in gray.[a]

Notes
- ^ Churches that were rebuilt in the modern era with a similar design to the original that incorporate little to no original structure (e.g., St Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery in Kyiv) are marked as destroyed, but churches that preserve the original structure that lost their Baroque elements (e.g., Boris and Gleb Cathedral in Chernihiv) are not.
