Zakrzewo ([zaˈkʂɛvɔ], 1936-45 German: Buschdorf) is a village in Złotów County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Zakrzewo.[1] It lies approximately 10 kilometres (6 mi) north-east of Złotów and 114 km (71 mi) north of the regional capital Poznań. The village has a population of 1,620.

Before 1945 the area was part of Grenzmark Posen-West Prussia Germany, although Zakrzewo had a very strong and active Polish minority, headed by the parson of a local parish, Bolesław Domański. In 1935 the Nazi government changed the village's name to Buschdorf as part of a drive to Germanize Slavic-sounding placenames. For more on the history of the multi-ethnic historical area, see Złotów County.

A Blues Express festival is organized in Zakrzewo every July by the local culture centre.
