Krosno County (Template:Lang-pl) is a unit of territorial administration and local government (powiat) in Subcarpathian Voivodeship, south-eastern Poland, on the Slovak border. It came into being on January 1, 1999, as a result of the Polish local government reforms passed in 1998.

The county covers an area of 923.79 square kilometres (356.7 sq mi). As of 2006 its total population is 109,715, out of which the population of Jedlicze is 5,593, that of Rymanów is 3,564, that of Dukla is 2,136, that of Iwonicz-Zdrój is 1,891, and the rural population is 96,531.
