Dudchany (, ) is a village located in Beryslav Raion, Kherson Oblast, Ukraine. It is located in the northwest of the oblast on the right bank of the Dnieper. The village had a pre-war population of 2,043 according to the 2001 Ukrainian Census, and was known for its watermelon growing.
During the 2022 Russian Invasion of Ukraine, the village was occupied by Russian forces in their initial advance into the nation in March, where it became utilized as a base and ammunitions depot for the Russian military. During Ukraine's southern counteroffensive, the main northern half of the village was confirmed to be recaptured on 3 October. It would take another month for the southern half of the village to be retaken by Ukrainian forces on 9 November due to the Dudchany Reservoir inlet creating a geographical barrier preventing either side from advancing.
