Tartak (Ukrainian: Тартак, Tartak) is a Ukrainian popular rock group. It mixes styles of guitar rock, hip-hop and dance music to produce energetic compositions and lyrics. Oleksandr (Sashko) Polozhynskyi founded the group in the Fall of 1996 in Lutsk, Ukraine.

The group has released five albums with a total of 74 songs and 9 videos.[1] Tartak songs: Ni Ja Ne Tu Kohav and Stilnykove Kohannja stayed on Top40 charts for 144 days and 75 days respectively.[2] Tartak was one of the bands that performed during the events of the Orange Revolution as seen in the picture to the right.

The word "tartak" means a woodsaw. Sashko thought that tartak symbolized something energetic, loud, active, and hence appropriate for a band name.
