Vasylivka (Ukrainian: Василівка) is a city in Zaporizhia Oblast (province) in southern Ukraine. The city is situated on the banks of the Kakhovka Reservoir on the Dnieper River. Population is 15,592 (2001 census).

The area was settled by the Zaporozhian Cossacks in the 1740s. In 1788, Catherine II of Russia granted the region to Vasili Stepanovich Popov, a Russian general whose name Vasylivka still bears. His grandson built the Popov Castle there. The residence was visited by Anton Makarenko in 1925.
