Template:Short description {{ safesubst:#invoke:Unsubst||date=__DATE__ |$B= Template:Ambox }} Horod (Template:Lang-cyrl) from Old Slavonic gord is a version of the Slavic word meaning "town", "city" or "castle", also found in Slavic languages as grad or gorod.

Horod is preserved in the toponymy of numerous Slavic placenames:
