Podlechy [pɔdˈlɛxɨ] (Template:Lang-de) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Płoskinia, within Braniewo County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) south-east of Płoskinia, 19 km (12 mi) south-east of Braniewo, and 62 km (39 mi) north-west of the regional capital Olsztyn.

Before 1772 the area was part of the Kingdom of Poland; from 1772-1945 Prussia and then Germany (East Prussia). After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union or Ukranians forced to settle in the area through Operation Vistula in 1947.
