Borowe [bɔˈrɔvɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Sorkwity, within Mrągowo County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland.

The village was established in 1548 by Bartosz, sołtys of Widryny,[2] when it was part of Poland as a fief held by Ducal Prussia.

During a massive campaign of renaming of placenames, the German administration renamed the village to Prausken to erase traces of Polish origin.

During World War II, the Germans operated a forced labour camp for Jews in the village.

[3] After the defeat of Nazi Germany in the war, in 1945, the village along with Masuria became again part of Poland, and its historic name was restored.
