Iławka County (Polish: powiat iławecki) was a unit of territorial administration (powiat) in Poland, that existed from 1945 to 1958. It was initially part of the Masurian District from 1945 to 1946, and then the Olsztyn Voivodeship from 1946 to 1958. The capitals were Iławka (in 1945) and then Górowo Iławeckie.
The county was named after its county seat Iławka. In December 1945, Polish officials were expelled from Iławka and the town was unilaterally annexed by the Soviet Union and then renamed to Bagrationovsk, with the new Polish-Soviet border set just at the southern outskirts of the town. The county seat was then moved to Górowo Iławeckie, however it retained the name of Iławka County until 1958. On 1 January 1959, it was renamed to Górowo County.
