Uładzimir Hančaryk (Template:Lang-be, Template:Lang-ru) (born 29 April 1940, Lahojsk, Belarus), also sometimes referred to as Vladimir Goncharik (in Russian), is a Belarusian politician.

He was the candidate from united opposition forces that stood against Alexander Lukashenko in the 2001 elections for the office of President of Belarus[1]. As he was the candidate from united opposition, he was supported by a fellow opposition candidate Siamion Domash, who withdrew his candidacy and urged his supporters to vote for Hančaryk[2]. Hančaryk failed to become the president, when the electoral committee announced official results, according to which he lost the vote to Lukashenko by a 60 percent margin. The elections were considered fraudulent by independent observers [3].

Before the elections, he was a chairman of the official Federation of Trade Unions of Belarus.
