The 1946 Football Championship of Ukrainian SSR were part of the 1946 Soviet republican football competitions in the Soviet Ukraine as well as so called Soviet "Tretya Gruppa" (Group 3) which by some football enthusiasts consider a predecessor of the Soviet Second League.

It was the first republican league competition in Ukraine following the World War II. Competitions were restructured and instead of tiered competitions, all tiers were combined into single tier divided by geographic groups.

Except for Spartak Kyiv, the top 2 from each qualification group also qualified for the 1947 Vtoraya Gruppa, Zone Ukraine.

Beside Ukrainian teams, in competitions took place one Moldovan team, Spartak Chisinau (Southern Group).
