Boryspil (Ukrainian: Бориспіль, translit. Boryspil’, Russian: Борисполь; also referred to as Borispol) is a city located in the Kiev Oblast (province) in northern Ukraine. Serving as the administrative center of the Boryspilskyi Raion (district), the city itself is also designated as a separate raion within the oblast.

The current estimated population is around 53,400 (as of 2004).

Although known as a settlement since at least 1154 and known under the modern name since 1590, it was not until 1956 that the place was received a city status. Currently the town is home to the country's main airport, Boryspil International Airport (international code KBP) and some minor industry.

Ruslan Bidnenko, a FC Dynamo Kiev football player, was born in the city.
