Chłaniów [ˈxwaɲuf] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Żółkiewka, within Krasnystaw County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland.

It lies approximately 9 kilometres (6 mi) south-east of Żółkiewka, 28 km (17 mi) south-west of Krasnystaw, and 51 km (32 mi) south-east of the regional capital Lublin.

On 23 July 1944, as revenge for the killing by Polish partisans of an SS officer[citation needed], the village of Chłaniów, together with nearby Władysławin, was burned down by the Ukrainian Self-Defense Legion.

[1] One of the officers ordering the attack was allegedly Michael Karkoc, who lived openly in Minnesota, USA until his death in 2019.
