Nadworna is a town on the right bank of the Bystritsa Nadvirnianska river (a tributary of the Dniester), at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, about 40 km south-east from Ivano-Frankivs'k and about 30 km north-east from Kolomyia. The town is divided by Strymba river (a tributary of the Bystritsa Nadvirnianska).

The Jewish community in Nadworna dates back to atleast 1765.
