thumb|Depiction of Perebendia from a collection of Ukrainian songs published in 1901 "Perebendya" () is a Ukrainian poem by Taras Shevchenko about a blind itinerant Ukrainian bard (kobzar).

The poem was written approximately in 1839 in Saint Peterburg. The first known publication of this poem is in the first edition of Shevchenko's best-known poetry collection. Kobzar, published in Saint Petersburg in 1840. Here, the poem was dedicated to Yevhen Hrebinka. The poem was published again in the 1844 edition of Kobzar without the dedication to Hrebinka and with some orthographic changes. The same year the poem was published in the Polish transliteration in the collection Wirszy T. Szewczenka (the publication contained one grammatical error in declension.)
