Głowaczów [ɡwɔˈvat͡ʂuf] is a town in Kozienice County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland.

Here, on February 15, 1864, one of battles of the January Uprising took place, and in 1869, the Russians stripped it of its town charter.

In 1921, already in Second Polish Republic’s Kielce Voivodeship, Głowaczów had 2271 inhabitants, including 1411 Jews.

During the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, several skirmishes between the advancing Wehrmacht and the retreating units of Armia Prusy took place here.

The village was partly destroyed, and in the spring 1940, all residents of Głowaczów were forced to leave their houses, as German authorities built airforce training facilities.
