Przytyk [ˈpʂɨtɨk] (Yiddish: פשיטיק) is a town in Radom County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland, founded in the year 1333.

In the late Middle Ages, the area of Przytyk belonged to the Podlodowski family (Janina coat of arms), whose seat was located at a village of Zameczek (also called Ostrow).

In 1488, due to efforts of Jan Podlodowski, the castellan of Zarnowiec, King Kazimierz Jagiellonczyk granted to Przytyk the privilege to hold two fairs a year, and markets on Mondays.

[4] In the Second Polish Republic, following Poland's return to independence, Przytyk became an urban settlement in the Kielce Voivodeship with 2302 inhabitants in 1930, of whom 1852 (80 percent) were Jewish.

[5] The competition for market share between Jews and a much smaller community of gentile Poles was intense,[5] and the area was plagued by extreme poverty among both groups.

[6] The town was the site of the 9 March 1936 Przytyk pogrom[7][8][9] In spite of economic migration, prior to the invasion of Poland and the ensuing Holocaust, about 80 percent of the population remained Jewish.
