Chetvertnia (Ukrainian: Четвертня, Polish: Czetwertnia) is a village in Volyn Oblast, Ukraine. The village is famous for being the estate of the Czetwertyński family.

In the 15th–17th centuries the village was considered a city.

In 1437 Oleksandr Chetvertynsky established in a city Transfiguration Monastery. Sometime at the end of 16th century the city belonged to the House of Zbaraski when Prince Janusz Zbaraski married Hanna Czetwertyńska.
