Orilka (Ukrainian: Орілька, Russian: Орелька) is a rural settlement in Lozova Raion of Kharkiv Oblast in Ukraine. It is located at the border with Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, on the left bank of the Orilka, a tributary of the Oril in the drainage basin of the Dnieper. The river is dammed nearby forming Orilka Reservoir. Orilka belongs to Lozova urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Population: 2,828 (2022 estimate).[2]
