Marhanets (Ukrainian: Марганець, pronounced [ˈmɑrɦɐnetsʲ]; Russian: Марганец, pronounced [ˈmarɡənʲɪts]; lit. ''manganese'') is a city in Nikopol Raion of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast that was established in 1938 in central Ukraine.

The municipality was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to seven. The area of Marhanets Municipality was merged into Nikopol Raion.[3][4]
