Kryłów () is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Mircze, within Hrubieszów County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland, close to the border with Ukraine.

==History== thumb|left|upright=0.9|Mid-19th-century view of the Kryłów Castle The settlement grew up next to the castle, which served as a place of refuge for the local population in case of Tatar raids. In the 16th century the castle became the seat of the Ostroróg family. In 1635, Mikołaj Ostroróg built a Catholic church. Later on, the castle passed to the Radziejowski, Prażmowski, Chrzanowski and Horodyski families.
