Słońsk (pronounced ; known as Sonnenburg in German) is a village in Sulęcin County of the Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland. It is located east of the border crossing with Germany along national road DK22. The village lies about 25 kilometres (or 16 miles) northwest of Sulęcin and southwest of Gorzów Wielkopolski.
The village borders Poland's Ujście Warty National Park stretching to the north. Słońsk had town privileges from 1808 to 1947, consequence of a small population size. During the Second World War, Słońsk (Sonnenburg) was the site of a Nazi concentration camp, now a museum.
