Nova Praha (Ukrainian: Нова Прага; Russian: Новая Прага) is a rural settlement in Oleksandriia Raion, Kirovohrad Oblast, Ukraine. It is located on the banks of the Beshka, a right tributary of the Inhulets in the basin of the Dnieper. Nova Praha hosts the administration of Nova Praha settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Population: 6,266 (2022 estimate).[2]
Until 26 January 2024, Nova Praha was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Nova Praha became a rural settlement.[3]
