Barciany (Polish: [barˈt͡ɕanɨ]) is a village in Kętrzyn County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland, close to the border with the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia.

In 1454, King Casimir IV Jagiellon incorporated the region to the Kingdom of Poland upon the request of the anti-Teutonic Prussian Confederation.

[2] After the subsequent Thirteen Years' War (1454–1466), it became a part of Poland as a fief held by the Teutonic Knights.

[4] After Germany's defeat in World War II in 1945, the town became again part of Poland under the terms of the Potsdam Agreement.

Initially it formed part of the Masurian District,[5] and from 1946 to 1998 it was located in the Olsztyn Voivodeship.
