'''Samar''' ({{lang-langx|uk|Самар}}, {{lang-uk|Стара Самара}}, Old Samara) is a city neighborhood of the [[Samarskyi District]] ([[Urban districts of Ukraine|urban district]]) of the city of [[Dnipro]] Municipality in southern [[Ukraine]]. It is located at the mouth of [[Samara River (Dnieper)|Samara River]] on its right bank where the river enters [[Dnieper]]. Samar, originally a [[Cossack]] settlement, was destroyed in 17th century and consequently rebuilt in a different ___location, and is thus sometimes called '''Old Samar''' ({{langx|uk|Стара Самар}}) to distinguish it from the [[Samar, Ukraine|New Samar]].
