Gronowo [ɡrɔˈnɔvɔ] (German: Gronau) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lubomino, within Lidzbark County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) east of Lubomino, 17 km (11 mi) west of Lidzbark Warmiński, and 33 km (21 mi) north of the regional capital Olsztyn.

Before 1772 the area was part of Kingdom of Poland, 1772-1945 Prussia and Germany (East Prussia). After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles.
