The Sevastopol Park (Sevastopolskyi park) is a memorial park and mass grave in the city of Dnipro, Ukraine. In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Siege of Sevastopol, the park was established in 1955. On the park's main lane there is monument honoring the soldiers of the siege. It was built by architect Petrov and given to the city, constructed from materials collected from Sevastopol itself. This monument was partly destructed on the order of the Dnipro city council on 7 June 2024 to comply with derussification laws. By June 2025 the monument was in a dreadful state. A fence was placed at the front of the monument to keep out animals that had begun to remove bones from the mass grave.
