Урочище Дем'янів Лаз на околиці Івано-Франківська – місце масового розстрілу в'язнів в'язниці НКВС.

Розстріли проводилися перед відступом радянських військ у 1941 році. Під час розкопок тут знайшли людські кістки та змогли ідентифікувати 524 особи. Для 22 осіб вдалося встановити особу, робота в архівах СБУ дозволила визначити імена ще 400 страчених.

У 1998 році неподалік поховань відкрили меморіальний комплекс "Дем'янів Лаз". У 2009 році відкрито музей.

Назва урочища пов'язана з ім'ям одного з місцевих селян Демьяна із села Загвіздя, який володів тут ділянкою Посічнянського лісу.

Меморіальний комплекс "Дем'янів лаз" є філією Івано-Франківського обласного музею визвольної боротьби імені Степана Бандери.
