Morske or Morskoye (Ukrainian: Морське; Russian: Морское) is a village in the Sudak Municipality of the Crimea, a territory recognized by a majority of countries as part of Ukraine and annexed by Russia as the Republic of Crimea.[2]

Previously, the settlement was known as the Kapsikhor village (Crimean Tatar: Qapsihor). Following the forced deportation of the Crimean Tatars in 1944, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR published a decree on May 18, 1948, renaming the settlement along with many others throughout Crimea from their native Crimean Tatar names to their current variants.[3]

Morske is located on Crimea's southern shore on the Black Sea at an elevation of 43 m (141 ft).[1] Its population was 2,245 in the 2001 Ukrainian census.[2] The current population is 2,394 (2014 Census).[4] The remains of the Choban-Kule fortification are located near the settlement.[5]
