Luchyn, or Luchin (; ; ; ) is an agrotown located in the of the Rahachow district of the Gomel region of Belarus. Luchyn is situated on the western bank of the Dnieper river, bisected by the P-39 local road. Luchyn is located south of the city of Rahachow.
==History== The earliest mention of Luchyn in a contemporary record is a 4 March 1480 duty-free charter to a burgher (meshchanin) of Minsk named Lutse Tereshkovichy under the reign of Casimir IV Jagiellon during the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The charter exempts Tereshkovichy from being charged taxes at the ports of certain towns along the Dnieper, including Luchyn. Luchyn was later mentioned in a 1548 letter from Bona Sforza to the governor of Rogachev regarding complaints of residents of Luchyn. Another mention occurred in 1593 as Luchyn was listed as affiliated with the Church of Saint Nicholas near cemeteries dedicated to the Kachytski family.
