Radzyń Podlaski pronounced [ˈrad͡zɨɲ pɔdˈlaskʲi] is a town in eastern Poland, about 60 km (37 mi) north of Lublin, with 15,808 inhabitants (2017). The town has been part of the Lublin Voivodeship since 1999, previously it was part of the Biała Podlaska Voivodeship (1975–1998). It is the capital of Radzyń Podlaski County, and historically belongs to the region of Lesser Poland (despite the adjective Podlaski, which suggests that it is part of another Polish province, Podlaskie). The town was founded in 1468, and its most important landmark is the rococo Potocki Palace.
Radzyń lies on the Białka River within the South Podlasie Lowland, at a height of 150 metres (490 ft) above sea level. The town has an area of 20.29 square kilometres (7.83 sq mi), of which forests make only 5%. It is located along the Expressway S19, which passes through Białystok, Lublin and Rzeszów.
