Pisz (pronounced , previously also Jańsbork, ) is a historic town in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in northern Poland, with a population of 19,466 (2016). It is the seat of Pisz County. Pisz is situated at the junction of Lake Roś and the Pisa River, in the region of Masuria.
== Etymology == The name Pisz originates from the word pisa, meaning "swamp" in the ancient Prussian language, owing to the muddy water from nearby Lake Roś. Johannisburg received town rights in 1645 by decree of Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg. Historic Polish names were Jańsbork and Pisz, and the former was replaced by the latter as official in 1946.
