Ruś Szlachtowska was a name introduced in 1930s by Prof. Roman Reinfuss to denote the region surrounding four villages (Biała and Czarna Woda, Jaworki and Szlachtowa) in Grajcarek valley in Pieniny mountains in southern Poland.

The region was westernmost area inhabited by Lemkos. It was separated from the rest of Lemkivshchyna with Polish-dominated Poprad valley which led to isolation of the local population and it gradual assimilation with Poles and Slovaks, until Operation Wisła of 1947, when the Lemkos were deported together with Ukrainians to other areas of Poland and to Soviet Union. Since then, the villages of Jaworki and Szlachtowa were gradually settled by Polish population from Podhale and Spisz, and the remaining two villages do not exist today.
