Kosava, also known as Kossovo, (Belarusian: Косава, Russian: Коссово, Polish: Kossów Poleski, Lithuanian: Kosovas) is a small town in the Ivasevichy Raion in the Brest Province of Belarus, located at 52°45′N 25°09′E / 52.75°N 25.15°E / 52.75; 25.15.
It is the birth place of Tadeusz Kościuszko and Rabbi Avraham Yeshayahu Karelitz. Nearby is the spectacular (but ruined) Kosava castle, built by the Pusłowski family in 1830, and a replica of Tadeusz Kościuszko's house in Mereczowszczyzna.
