Kierwiny [kʲɛrˈvinɨ] (German: Kerwienen)[1] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kiwity, within Lidzbark County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[2] It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) west of Kiwity, 8 km (5 mi) east of Lidzbark Warmiński, and 40 km (25 mi) north of the regional capital Olsztyn.

Before 1772 the area was part of Kingdom of Poland, 1772-1945 Prussia and Germany (East Prussia). Following World War II the native German populace was expelled and replaced by Poles.
