Jedlińsk [ˈjɛdliɲsk] is a village in Radom County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Jedlińsk. It lies in historic Lesser Poland, approximately 14 km (9 mi) north of Radom and 79 km (49 mi) south of Warsaw along the E77 Highway.
Jedlińsk gained town privileges in 1530. These were revoked in 1869, while it was part of Russian-controlled Congress Poland. Its name comes from pine trees (Polish: jodly), which were abundant in the area in the Middle Ages.
