Vikno (Ukrainian: Вікно, translated from Ukrainian as Window) is a Ukrainian village (from the 16th century to 17th century — market town) located in the Horodenkivskyi Raion (district) of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast (province).
Founded in times of Galicia-Volhynia Kingdom. Strange name comes from a spring, which does not freeze even in winter. The first saved mention of Vikno in the historical sources — under 1453 year.
