Wolsztyn [ˈvɔlʂtɨn] (German: Wollstein) is a town in central Poland, situated (since 1999) in the Greater Poland Voivodeship, previously (1975-1998) in Zielona Gora Voivodeship. It is the seat of Wolsztyn County.

It is particularly famous for being the last place in Europe where regular, timetabled train services on the national railway network are hauled by steam locomotives. This is currently being partially funded by an organisation in the United Kingdom.
