Sedniv (Ukrainian: Седнів, Yiddish: סעדניוו) is a rural settlement in Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine. Located in Chernihiv Raion, Sedniv is the seat of the Sedniv settlement hromada, one of Ukraine's 435 settlement hromadas. It has a population of 1,041 (2022 estimate).
Sedniv is famous for being the hometown of the Lyzohub family of Cossacks. The population of Sedniv suffered heavily from the Holodomor, or Ukrainian Famine, causing it to lose its township status in 1932. More than 25 years later, in 1959, Sedniv was restored to a ton.
Sedniv is located at the historic site of the Ruthenian city of Snovsk, then part of Kievan Rus', which was destroyed by the Tatars in 1239. It is unknown when the town changed its name from Snovsk to Sedniv. In 1648-1781 it was a district (sotnia) seat of the Chernihiv region (polk).
