Batîr is a village in Cimișlia District, near the southern border of Moldova.

==History== The actual village was founded in 1808 when 48 moldovan peasant families settled in the area, which was previously home to a tatar settlement. In 1822 the village was settled by 10 more families of ruthenian peasants, who had the surnames Revenko, Malashenko, Girik, Grizhuk, Todorovič, Grushitskiy (also Grushinskiy), Podkormezhnyy (also Kernitskiy and Zakerničnyy) and Vesel’noy (also Vesel’nyy and Vesyolyy).
