Chukva (Ukrainian: Чуква, Polish: Czukiew) is a village in Sambir Raion (district), Lviv Oblast (province), Ukraine. It belongs to Ralivka rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1]

The village is home to the Parish of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary [pl], where the parish priests included Franciszek Salezy Matwijkiewicz [pl] (1881–1894) and Maurycy Turkowski [pl] (1899).

In the Second Polish Republic, the village was part of the Sambir County in the Lwów Voivodeship.

Between 1943 and 1944, Ukrainian nationalists from the OUN-UPA brutally murdered 17 Poles here as a part of Volhynia genocide.[2]

Notable individuals born in Czukwa include Stefan Balicki [pl] and Jan Serafin [pl].
