The Lemberg Encyclopedia ( Ukrainian Енциклопедія Львова / Encyklopedija L'vova ) is an 8-volume reference work devoted to the western Ukrainian city of Lemberg .

The Lviv Encyclopedia, also Encyclopaedia Leopoliensis, which belongs to the Ukrainian encyclopedias dedicated to the individual cities of Ukraine , has been published since 2007 under the editorship of Andrij Kosyzkyj. The first considerations for such a reference work were made in 1986 on the 730th anniversary of the city and in the run-up to the great celebration of the baptism of the Kievan Rus . Only after the 3-volume history of Lviv was published under the direction of Jaroslaw Isajewytsch in 2006 and 2007, the Lemberg encyclopedia was also realized. Her articles cover history, culture, science, literature, music, art, architecture, and reasonably people who are associated with the city. The authors are around 200 scholars from, among others, Ukraine, Poland, France, the USA and Canada. More than a dozen scientific research institutions in Lviv are involved. The volumes, each with more than 600 pages, do not require any additional literature references. They are illustrated in color and printed on glossy paper. After the 4th volume, which was published in 2012, the ambitious project of the most beautiful Ukrainian city encyclopedia, which has also received several Ukrainian book prizes, has stalled.
