The Ukrainian Dnipro Ensemble of Edmonton is a choir in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, which specialises in Ukrainian choral music.

The Dnipro Male Chorus was organized in Edmonton in 1953 by Roman Soltykevych, along with a group of devotees, whose primary concern was the fostering, promotion, and perpetuation of the finest elements of Ukrainian choral music.^{[citation needed]}

The chorus expanded in 1971 to become a mixed choir.^{[citation needed]}

In 1974, with the addition of an orchestra and dance corps, the mixed choir became an ensemble.^{[citation needed]}

The current generation^[when?] of the Ukrainian Dnipro Ensemble of Edmonton continues this work of preserving Ukrainian musical culture within the parameters of the Canadian multicultural identity.^{[citation needed]}
