Yerusalimka or Ierusalimka (), the name derived from Jerusalem, was a Jewish quarter of the town of Vinnytsia in west-central Ukraine. In the beginning of the 20th century Vinnytsia, the chief town of Podolia Governorate, was inhabited by 4,000 people, half of which were Jewish. Ierusalimka started to build up as handicraft suburb of the town of Vinnytsia at the end of the 18th century and became famous for its distinctive architectural style, the so-called Jewish Baroque.
