() is a village in the Beskid Śląski mountain range in Cieszyn County, Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland. It is the highest village by elevation in the Silesian Beskids and lies in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia. The village is primarily known for its tradition of intricate lace-making.
The name is possessive in origin, derived from personal name Koniak. It is thought that the name was conveyed by settlers from Koňákov (Koniaków) who supposedly established (or took part in the process of establishing of) the village.
