thumb|300px|The Vision to the Youth Bartholomew by [[Mikhail Nesterov – an episode in the career of the young Sergii Radonezhsky]] Radonezh (), formerly known as Gorodok () is a historic village in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located about from Sergiyev Posad.
The old town of Radonezh is known to have existed since the first half of the 14th century, when it belonged to Ivan Kalita (Prince of Moscow from 1325). In 1328, Ivan Kalita settled there many captives from Rostov, including the future Saint Sergii Radonezhsky. About twenty years later, Sergii founded the Trinity Monastery to the north of Radonezh.
