Łomazy is a village in Biała County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Łomazy.

==History== Łomazy was first mentioned in a document written in 1447. It was conveniently located on the trade route from Kraków to Wilno. The settlement received town rights in 1568 from Polish king Sigismund II Augustus. On 15 September 1769, it was the site of a battle between Poles led by Kazimierz Pułaski and his brothers Franciszek Ksawery Pułaski and Antoni Pułaski and the Russians. Franciszek Ksawery died in the battle.
