Геометричний центр України - точка, яку вперше було визначено в 1989 році доктором географічних наук Віктором Шевченком як географічний центр України.

Він дійшов висновку, що центром України є точка з географічними координатами 48*21" північної широти та 31*10" східної довготи. Ця точка розташована на околиці Добровеличківки, в районі "Козацька криниця".

Рішенням районної ради в 1991 році було встановлено гранітний пам'ятний знак.

Проте в 2005 році внаслідок нових досліджень було встановлено, що географічний центр України знаходиться біля міста Шпола на Черкащині. Точці в Добровеличківці присвоїли інше почесне звання - геометричний центр України.
