Piasutno [pjaˈsutnɔ] (German: Piassutten) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Świętajno, within Szczytno County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 4 kilometres (2 mi) north of Świętajno, 16 km (10 mi) east of Szczytno, and 52 km (32 mi) south-east of the regional capital Olsztyn.

Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (East Prussia). It was the location of first private Polish school in Masuria founded in 1931 by Jan Boenigk, which immediately resulted in German attempts to liquidate it[2]
