Zvala is a former Ruthenian village located in eastern Slovakia within the Snina District. The settlement was first documented in 1543 and originally belonged to the noble families of Humenné before being transferred to other noble ownership.
The village was destroyed in 1986 to facilitate the construction of the Starina reservoir, a process that also involved the removal of six other nearby villages. Today, only one house and the village cemetery remain as vestiges of the original settlement. The territory currently lies within the boundaries of Poloniny National Park.
