Pivnichne (Ukrainian: Північне), formerly known as Sieverne (Ukrainian: Сєверне [ˈsʲɛʋernve]), is a rural settlement in Pokrovsk Raion, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. As a result of fighting during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it is likely that very few people still live in the settlement.
History
Pivnichne was the center of a sovkhoz, which also operated in Pisky and Vodiane.

During the war in Donbas, the settlement saw fighting during the Battle of Avdiivka (2017).

In 2024 the Verkhovna Rada renamed the village as a part of the derussification campaign.
