thumb|Welcome sign Mariiampil (), or formerly Marynopil () is a village (a former township) in Ivano-Frankivsk Raion of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast (province) on the left bank of the Dnister. Mariiampil belongs to Dubivtsi rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.
==Etymology of the town's name == The name derives from the Christian name Mary. Based on the folk legend (from the book "Культурні грона Дністра", ''Kul'turni groda Dnistra''), during the time of the Tatar raids, the Polish leader (wojewoda), was fleeing the Tatars on his horse. Having crossed the Dnister, this horse could not jump onto the bank. Despairing of being caught by the Tatars, Kaietan yelled "Jesus-Maryja" and the horse carried him to dry land. In thanks giving to God, Jan Kajetan founded on the either bank of the river, the cities of Jesupol, in honour of Jesus and Marijampol, in honour of Mary, the Mother of God.
