Komyshi (Ukrainian: Комиші; Russian: Камыши, romanizedKamyshi) is a village in Okhtyrka Raion, in Ukraine's central Sumy Oblast. It is the administrative centre of Komyshi rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. Its population is 1,225 (as of 2024).

History

Komyshi was first mentioned sometime in the 17th century. It was occupied by the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic in December 1917, after which a kolkhoz named "Ilyich's Testament" was established in the village. 166 inhabitants of Komyshi were killed in World War II, and a monument to Soviet soldiers killed in the war was constructed in 1958.

Komyshi's economy is primarily driven by the local farm, which has leveraged its economic output to improve local living standards since the 1990s.
