Czarne (; ) is a town in Człuchów County of the Pomeranian Voivodeship in northern Poland. As of December 2022, the town has a population of 5,368.

Founded in the Middle Ages and granted town rights in 1395, Czarne is a former royal town of Poland, which became most known as the place of a Polish victory over invading Swedes in 1627, and the location of German-operated prisoner-of-war camps for Allied soldiers of various nationalities during both world wars, where over 60,000 died during the Second World War. Since 1951, Czarne hosts a garrison of the Polish Army.
