Giławy [ɡiˈwavɨ] (German: Gillau) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Purda, within Olsztyn County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.^[2] It lies approximately 7 kilometres (4 mi) east of Purda and 22 km (14 mi) east of the regional capital Olsztyn. It is located in Warmia. The village has now a population of 540.

Before 1772 the area was part of Kingdom of Poland, 1772–1871 Prussia, 1871–1945 Germany, and again Poland since 1945. Despite being under German rule, a Polish school existed in the village before World War II. Its head in 1932-1933 was Edward Turowski^[pl], who during World War II was imprisoned by the Germans in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, and later became a member of the Polish Sejm.

The historic church of St. John the Baptist and a historical Warmian wayside shrine are located in Giławy.
