Krasiejów [kraˈɕejuf] (German Krascheow) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Ozimek, within Opole County, Opole Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) east of Ozimek and 23 km (14 mi) east of the regional capital Opole.

Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (see Territorial changes of Poland after World War II).

The village has a population of 2,050.

Abundant skeletons of the Upper Triassic tetrapods (i.e., large Temnospondyli: Metoposaurus and Cyclotosaurus; reptiles: Paleorhinus, dinosauriformes Silesaurus) were described from the pit. Two paleontological museums and large dinopark (so-called JuraPark) [2] are at Krasiejów.
