Sławków [ˈswafkuf] is a town in Będzin County, Silesian Voivodeship, Poland, with 6,816 inhabitants (2004). Historically, it lies in the Zagłębie Dąbrowskie (Zaglembia) region of Lesser Poland.

From 1999–2001 Sławków was part of Lesser Poland Voivodeship. When it was transferred to Silesian Voivodeship in 2002 it was assigned to Będzin County (powiat), despite being separated from the rest of that county by the cities of Dąbrowa Górnicza and Sosnowiec.
