Kryvka (Ukrainian: Кривка, Polish: Krywka) is a village (selo) in Turka Raion, Lviv Oblast, in south-west Ukraine.
Kryvka was established as a private village in the late 15th century. An Orthodox church was mentioned here in 1561. There is a Saint Nicholais Orthodox church, built in 1928 in the Ukrainian national style. The older Greek Catholic church built here in 1765 was moved to the open-air museum in Lviv in 1930.[1]
