Lyman Pershyi (Ukrainian: Лиман Перший, Russian: Лиман Первый, romanized: Liman Pervyj) is a village in Kupiansk Raion, Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine. During the first days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the village was captured by Russian forces in their initial advance into the nation. The village for a short time returned to Ukrainian control after their successful 2022 Ukrainian eastern counteroffensive in September, but a localized Russian offensive recaptured the village on 16 February 2023.

Since then, the village has been used as a staging ground for Russian offensives on the village of Synkivka to the south, as part of the larger effort to recapture the city of Kupiansk. Since August 2023, Russian assaults have more significantly picked up in quantity, but Ukrainian counterattacks have held off Russian forces from achieving their objective.
