Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki (pronounced [ˈnɔvɨ ˈdvur mazɔˈvʲɛt͡skʲi] ⓘ), often simply referred to as Nowy Dwór, is a town in east-central Poland in the Masovian Voivodeship with ca. 28500 inhabitants (2021). It is the capital of Nowy Dwór County. It is located in the northern part of the Warsaw metropolitan area.
Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki was founded in the medieval period. Due to its favourable location at the confluence of the Narew and Vistula rivers, it prospered as a trade center. It was industrialized in the late modern period. Due to its strategic location, it was the site of several battles and the Modlin Fortress, one of the largest fortresses in Poland, was erected there. The Warsaw Modlin Airport is located in Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki.
