Lodomeria (Hungarian: Lodoméria) is the Latinized name of Volodymyr-Volhynia, a medieval Ruthenian principality, which was part of Galich–Volhynia in the 13th and 14th centuries. The name was always used together with Galich, which in Latin is referred to as Galicia in Eastern Europe.

From the 13th century it was a Hungarian sergeant province, and from 1772 to 1918 Lodomeria was officially a part of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, in the Austrian Empire, although in reality its territory had become a part of the Russian Empire under the name of Volhynia.
