The Zwinin (Ukrainian: Джвинув or Dschwynuw; Polish: Dżwinów) is a mountain a few kilometers south of Stryi, Ukraine, in the Outer Eastern Carpathians.
The peak is 1107 meters above sea level and the ridge is 10 kilometers long. Together with the River Stryi, the mountain is part of a national park called “natsional'ny park Skolivs'ki Beskydy” (National Park of the Skole Beskids).
