Mshanets () is a village in Ukraine, part of the Strilky rural hromada in the Sambir Raion of the Lviv Oblast. The first preserved written mention of the village dates back to 1446.
This village is the most researched in terms of historical and ethnographic dimensions not only in Ukraine but also in all of Central and Eastern Europe, mainly due to the efforts of Father Mykhailo Zubrytskyi. He served as a village priest of UGCC and community activist from 1883 to 1914, combining his pastoral duties with extensive scholarly work on the history, culture, and lifestyle of the village and the surrounding region. Zubrytskyi engaged prominent figures like Ivan Franko, Volodymyr Hnatiuk, Ilarion Sventsitsky, Khvedir Vovk in these studies, and they visited Mshanets for field research. Historians Mykhailo Hrushevsky and Bohdan Barvinsky also mentioned Mshanets in their works.
