IT 8-bit was a computer museum in Mariupol, Ukraine. It was founded by Dmitry Cherepanov.[1][2][3] Before its destruction it used to be one of the largest privately owned computer museums in Ukraine.[4] It was opened in August 2016.[5]

The museum contained many computers from the Soviet Union.[6]

The building housing the museum, which contained more than 500 exhibits,[2] was destroyed during the Siege of Mariupol in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[4]
