Vasyl Mykhailovych Horbal (Ukrainian: Василь Михайлович Горбаль; born 18 March 1971) is a Ukrainian politician, former member of the Verkhovna Rada.

In 1993-2002 he worked for various banks in Kyiv and since 1996 as a director of Ukrgasbank.[1] In 2002-2010 Horbal was a member of Verkhovna Rada representing the Party of Regions.[1]

In 2008 he unsuccessfully ran for the mayor of Kyiv.

In April 2010 Horbal was appointed Governor of Lviv Oblast.[1] After being appointed as a governor Horbal was supposed to terminated his parliamentary duty, but instead even though he physically was in Lviv, his card voted on several issues in parliament including the so-called Kharkiv pact. After a secret ballot in which 66 deputies of the Lviv Oblast Council expressed their no-confidence in the Governor, President Viktor Yanukovych dismissed Horbal in December 2010.[1]
