Dobraczyn (Ukrainian: Добрячин) is a village in Ukraine located in the Sheptytskyi Raion of the Lviv Oblast. It had 815 residents in 2022.[1]
History
In the Second Polish Republic it was an independent unitary gmina until 1934. Afterwards, it became a part of the Krystynopol gmina in the Sokalski powiat of the Lwów Voivodeship.[2]
Between 1943 and 1944, Ukrainian nationalists from OUN-UPA murdered 30 Poles and 1 Ukrainian in Dobraczyn, looting and burning farmsteads. They also attacked several Polish carts on a nearby road, killing the travelers,[3] including Stanisław Mucha, a Bernandine priest travelling from Czerwonogród to Sokal.[4]
After World War II, Dobraczyn became a part of the Hrubieszów County of the Lublin Voivodeship. However, in 1951, the village together with the entirety of the Krystynopol gmina was annexed into the Soviet Union as part of the border swap agreement.[5]
Prior to 1937, a Reading Room TSL Folk School Society was created in Dobraczyn.[6]

- Dmytro Levytsky (1877-1942) - Ukrainian lawyer, doctor of law, political activist, president of the Ukrainian National Democratic Alliance (1926-1935), and member of the Polish Sejm (1928-1935).
