Mikhanavichy is a settlement southeast of Minsk in Belarus. It developed around a station on the railway towards Asipovichy.

Notes

Input Ukrainian Михановичі replaced by native Belarusian Міханавічы. English heading Mikhanavichy retained; dated national Michanavičy is an alternative. No French-style Mikhanavitchy is invented without attestation. Input population differs from the modern English reference and is omitted. National-system references are dated 2007/UN 2012; domestic rules changed in 2023. Independent French locality-prose evidence is limited.
