The Ostryanyn uprising (Ukrainian: Повстання Острянина) was a 1638 Cossack uprising against the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. It was sparked by an act of the Sejm (legislature) passed the same year that declared that non-Registered Cossacks were equal to ordinary peasants in their rights, and hence were subjected to enserfment. The uprising was initially led by Cossack Hetman Yakiv Ostryanyn (Polish: Jakub Ostrzanin) but was eventually crushed.
