Pisek (pronunciation: /ˈpsɨk/ pees-ik) is a city in Walsh County, North Dakota in the United States. The population was 106 at the 2010 census.[1]

Pisek was founded in 1882 by Bohemian settlers who had come from the town of Pisek in the modern Czech Republic.[4] Additionally, as Pisek means "sand" in Czech, the name of the new city may have also been influenced by a sand ridge that is located nearby.[5]
