Starobilsk (Ukrainian: Старобільськ) is a city near Luhansk in Ukraine. The settlement has been known since 1686. The city status was given in 1938. Population is 22,040 (2006).

During WW2, it was the site of a Soviet prison camp for Polish POWs (Prisoners of War), especially officers. A very large proportion of the prisoners from the camp were massacred during the Katyn massacre in the Kharkiv NKVD building, later buried in Pyatikhatky forest.
