Shyroke (Template:Lang-uk; Russian: Широкое) is a settlement (posyolok) in Bashtanka Raion (district) in Mykolaiv Oblast of southern Ukraine, at about 54.9 kilometres (34.1 mi) east-northeast from the centre of Mykolaiv city. It hosts the administration of Shyroke rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[2]
Until 18 July 2020, Shyroke belonged to Snihurivka Raion. The raion was abolished that day as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Mykolaiv Oblast to four. The area of Snihurivka Raion was merged into Bashtanka Raion.[3][4]
The settlement came under attack by Russian forces in 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[5]

Local fighting continued in the Mykolayiv direction, with Russian forces conducting failed attacks towards Tavriyske and Nova Zorya and Ukrainian forces reportedly recapturing Shyroke, Novopetrivka, and Lyubino, 50 km north of Kherson.
