Storozheve (Ukrainian: Сторожеве; Russian: Сторожевое) is a village just south of Neskuchne in Volnovakha Raion (district) in the Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine. It is on the opposite side of the Mokri Yaly river from Blahodatne and about 79.09 kilometres (49.14 mi) southwest by west (SWbW) of the centre of Donetsk city. It belongs to Velyka Novosilka settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.

In March 2022, the settlement was occupied by the Russian Armed Forces during the Russo-Ukrainian war. It was liberated by the Ukrainian forces in June 2023.[2][3][4][5][6]
