Jagodnik [jaˈɡɔdnik] (German: Behrendshagen) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Milejewo, within Elbląg County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) west of Milejewo, 14 km (9 mi) north-east of Elbląg, and 82 km (51 mi) north-west of the regional capital Olsztyn.

Before 1772 the area was part of the Kingdom of Poland; from 1772-1945, Prussia and Germany (East Prussia). After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union or Ukrainians forced to settle in the area through Operation Vistula in 1947.

The village has a population of 140.
