Mlyniv (Ukrainian: Млинів; Polish: Młynów) is an urban-type settlement in Rivne Oblast (province) in western Ukraine. Mlyniv is also the administrative center of the Mlyniv Raion (district), housing the district's local administration buildings. Its population is 8,446 as of the 2001 Ukrainian Census.[2] The town is located on the banks of the Ikva River, a tributary of the Styr.[2]

A settlement named Muravytsi or Moravytsi (Ukrainian: Муравиці, Моравиці) first appeared in the town's current borders around 1149. Mlyniv itself was first founded as a village in 1508; it was granted Magdeburg rights in 1789, and it acquired the status of an urban-type settlement in 1959.
