Zbarazh (Ukrainian: Збараж, Polish: Zbaraż, Yiddish: Zbarj) is a city in the Ternopil Oblast (province) of western Ukraine. It is the administrative center of the Zbarazh Raion (district), and is located in the historic region of Galicia. The current estimated population is around 13,000.
Zbarazh is one of the settings of Henryk Sienkiewicz's novel With Fire and Sword (1884) in which he gives a detailed description of the famous Siege of Zbarazh. The town formerly had a sizable Jewish population (about 3000 in the 1931 census) that was wiped out during the Holocaust, in June–July 1943. Notable Jewish residents included Rabbi Zev Wolf, the singer Velvel Zbarjer and the author Ida Fink.
