Uładzimir Ivanavič Hančaryk or Vladimir Ivanovich Goncharik (Belarusian: Уладзімір Іванавіч Ганчарык, Russian: Владимир Иванович Гончарик; born 29 April 1940 in Lahojsk, Soviet Union), 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.
