Janików [jaˈnikuf] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Ożarów, within Opatów County, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, in south-central Poland.

The history of Janikow dates back to the year 1559, when a local nobleman Stanislaw Janikowski founded the town of Janino.

Its name was changed into Janikow after a few years, and the town remained in the hands of the Janikowski family until the mid-17th century.

Janikow had a parish school and a hospital, but its development was slow, due to proximity of well-established, ancient centers of Ozarow and Zawichost.

Among notable residents of the town was Tomasz Hutter, a sculptor, popular in the 18th century Lesser Poland.
