The Sanok ( Russian Санок ) is a slowly flowing brook, a right, 19 km long tributary of the Vorsklyzja river (a left tributary of the Vorskla ) in southwest Russia and in northern Ukraine (Eastern Europe).

It rises in the western foothills of the Central Russian Ridge near Pochayev, in the border area with Ukraine, west of the Russian capital of Graivoron . Important places on the brook are Pochayevo, Smorodino, Sankowo. The Sanok flows into the Worsklyzja at Dorogoschtsch.

The name could be interpreted analogously to the Lechian river name Sanok, today San . After a trip by the Russian Grand Duke Mstislaw to Poland in 1031-1032, many of the Lendizan peoples were expelled or resettled here.
