| '''''Braïliv''''' (Браїлів) is a town in the Zhmerinka district (Жмеринський район) and Vinnytsia oblast (Вінницька область) of Ukraine.

| During Tchaikovsky's lifetime it was known as '''''Brailov''''' (Браилов), and formed part of the Vinnitsa district (Винницкий уезд) in the Podolsk province (Подольская губерния) of the Russian Empire.
