Hrushivka or Grushevka (Ukrainian: Грушівка; Russian: Грушевка) is a village in the Sudak Municipality of the Crimea, a territory recognized by a majority of countries as part of Ukraine and annexed by Russia as the Republic of Crimea.^[2]

Previously, the settlement was known as the Suuk-Sala village (Crimean Tatar: Suvuq Sala). Following the forced deportation of the Crimean Tatars in 1944, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR published a decree on May 18, 1948 renaming the settlement along with many others throughout Crimea from their native Crimean Tatar names to their current variants.^[3]

Hrushivka is located on Crimea's southern shore at an elevation of 244 metres (801 ft).^[1] Its population was 2,054 in the 2001 Ukrainian census.^[2] Current population: 2,269 (2014 Census).^[4]
