Vyshkovo (Ukrainian: Вишково; Hungarian: Visk) is a rural settlement in Khust Raion, Zakarpattia Oblast, western Ukraine. It is first mentioned in the year 1281. The town's population was 8,142 as of the 2001 Ukrainian Census. Current population: 8,193 (2022 estimate). In 2001 45% of the population was of ethnic Hungarian origin.
Vyshkovo is located in the historic region of Northern Máramaros, along the banks of the Tisza River near modern-day Romania. In the past, its location was suited for a castle, although almost nothing remains of it today except for some fortification remnants.
Until 26 January 2024, Vyshkovo was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Vyshkovo became a rural settlement.
