Hvozdets () is a village in Sambir Raion, Lviv Oblast, Ukraine. The population is 94 people. The local self-government body is the Strilky rural council.

== History == On May 21, 1949, a detachment led by Captain UIA Kuzma ("senior lieutenant K.") ambushed and eliminated senior officers of the Ministry of State Security (MGB) in the area between the villages of Holovetsko and Hvozdets (near the road). The victims were returning from a raid and included Colonel Kolodyazhnyi from the MGB regional headquarters, a major, a captain, and other emigres. The operation was carried out without losses on the part of the attackers.
