Kamianka-Dniprovska (Ukrainian: Кам'янка-Дніпровська, IPA: [ˈkɑmjɐnkɐ d⁽ʲ⁾n⁽ʲ⁾iˈprɔu̯sʲkɐ]) is a city in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Ukraine. It served as the administrative center of the former Kamianka-Dniprovska Raion until that raion was merged into Vasylivka Raion in 2020. Population: 12,117 (2022 estimate).[1]
It is located on the south bank of a west-flowing part of the Dnieper River. On the north bank is the town of Nikopol. About 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) east is the power plant at Enerhodar.

The city is home to the Kamianka-Dniprovska District Historical and Archeological Museum.[2]
