Władysławin [vwadɨˈswavin] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Żółkiewka, within Krasnystaw County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland.[1]

On July 23, 1944, as revenge for the killing by Polish partisans of an SS officer[citation needed], the village of Władysławin, together with nearby Chłaniów, was burned down by the Ukrainian Self-Defense Legion. Overall, 44 residents died in the two villages.[2]
