Baranivka (), is a village located in Bohodukhiv Raion, Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine. It belongs to the Zolochiv settlement hromada, one of the hromadas (local communities) of Ukraine.
History Baranivka was founded around the year 1650.
In October 2017, as part of Ukraine's decentralization reforms, the Zolochiv settlement hromada was established. In total, 77 villages/settlements were integrated into the hromada, including Baranivka.
The population of the village in 2020 was around 300 residents. Still, after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the village was struck with multiple drone strikes and artillery shelling, leading to the population declining to around 47 people.
On July 1st 2024, due to heavy Russian artillery barrages, the village's electricity went out. Prior to this, it was reported that Russian mortars destroyed 2 houses and disrupted power lines.
