The Zwinin (Ukrainian: Джвинув or Dschwynuw; Polish: Dżwinów) is a mountain a few kilometers south of Stryi, Ukraine, in the Outer Eastern Carpathians.

The peak is 1107 meters[1][2] above sea level and the ridge is 10 kilometers long. Together with the River Stryi, the mountain is part of a national park called “natsional'ny park Skolivs'ki Beskydy” (National Park of the Skole Beskids).

In World War I a battle[3] took place from 5 February – 9 April 1915. The South-East-Army of the Central Powers took the Zwinin under the leadership of Felix Graf von Bothmer.
