In Ukraine, the Codifier of administrative-territorial units and territories of territorial communities (Ukrainian: Кодифікатор адміністративно-територіальних одиниць та територій територіальних громад), for short KATOTTH (КАТОТТГ) is a national register of the administrative divisions of Ukraine and the territory of hromadas (communities) of the country, introduced on 26 November 2020 in accordnace with an edict of Ministry of Communities and Territories Development to replace the previous classification of objects of the administrative-territorial system of Ukraine (KOATUU) system.[1][2]

The administrative-territorial units are divided into five levels:[4]
The units are also divided by category, each with its own one-letter abbreviation in the Latin alphabet:
