Wolisko [vɔˈliskɔ] (German: Walisko) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kruklanki, within Giżycko County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 23 kilometres (14 mi) east of Giżycko and 111 km (69 mi) east of the regional capital Olsztyn.

Before 1945 the area was part of 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 name of the village under Nazi-Germany was Waldsee (1938-45).

The village has a population of 20.
