Stepanivka (Ukrainian: Степанівка), in Ukraine, is a village in Luhansk Oblast, known for being the site of an ancient settlement dating to 5000 - 4300 B.C. belonging to the Cucuteni-Trypillian culture.

The site is near the modern village of Stepanivka, Kadiivka urban hromada, Perevalskyi Raion in Luhansk Oblast.[1] On 28 July 2014, Ukrainian forces reportedly secured this village from pro-Russian separatists.[2] Starting in mid-April 2014, pro-Russian separatists captured several towns in Luhansk Oblast.[3][4] On 14 August 2014 the Ukrainian military lost control of Stepanivka to the Luhansk People's Republic.[5][6] According to a soldier of the Ukrainian 8th Army Corps the Luhansk People's Republic were able to do this assisted by armored units of the Russian Armed Forces.[6]
