Lengyel (literally: "Polish, Pole", German: Lendl) is the highest inhabited village in Tolna County, Hungary. It is located between Bonyhád and Dombóvár. It was long held by the Apponyi family following its purchase by Count Antal György Apponyi in 1799. After approximately 200 years of residency, Lengyel's ethnic German Danube Swabian population was dispossessed of its property and forcibly removed to Germany following the end of World War II.
Lengyel culture is named after the village.
