Fastiv (Ukrainian: Фастів, IPA: [ˈfɑs⁽ʲ⁾t⁽ʲ⁾iu̯] ^ⓘ) is a city in the Kyiv Oblast (province) in central Ukraine. On older maps it is depicted as Khvastiv (Polish: Chwastów; Ukrainian: Хвастів). Administratively, it serves as the administrative centre of the Fastiv Raion (district), to which it does not administratively belong. Fastiv hosts the administration of Fastiv urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. Its population is approximately 44,014 (2022 estimate).

Lying on conjunction of railway lines, Fastiv is an important node station on the rail route from central Europe to Russia and Asia. On 1 December 1918 at the Fastiv train station delegations of the Ukrainian People's Republic and the West Ukrainian People's Republic signed the Unification Act uniting territories of Ukraine that were split between Austrian and Russian empires.

Beside transportation industry, Brewing and machinery industry are also present, although the majority of inhabitants are employed by Ukrzaliznytsia's 12 railway installations in the city.
