Otorowo [ɔtɔˈrɔvɔ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Szamotuły, within Szamotuły County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland.

Otorowo was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Poznań County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Polish Crown.

[2] During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), the Germans carried out public executions of Polish farmers and craftsmen from Otorowo in Otorowo (on October 12–13, 1939) and in the nearby town of Szamotuły (on December 13, 1939).

[3] Poles from Otorowo were also among the victims of large massacres carried out by the Germans in November 1939 in nearby Mędzisko.

In late 1939, the Germans carried out expulsions of Poles, who were then held in Wronki, where they were searched and stripped of money and valuable items, and afterwards deported to the Radom District of the General Government (German-occupied central Poland).
