Caritas Ukraine (Ukrainian: Карітас України) is a Ukrainian Catholic not-for-profit and humanitarian relief organisation.
Caritas Ukraine is a member of both Caritas Europa and Caritas Internationalis. Within Ukraine, it is one of two national Caritas organisations, alongside Caritas-Spes. The distinction between the two lies in their founding initiatives: Caritas Ukraine was initiated by the Greek Catholic bishops, whereas Caritas-Spes was initiated by the Roman Catholic bishops.
