Straduny is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Ełk, within Ełk County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland. It lies approximately north of Ełk and east of the regional capital Olsztyn. It is situated on the Ełk River and Straduńskie Lake in Masuria. There are three nature reserves in the vicinity.
==History== Straduny was officially founded in 1475 when sołtys Jakub was granted 60 włókas of land by Bernhard von Balzhofen, Komtur of Brandenburg, to establish a village. It was then part of the monastic state of the Teutonic Knights within the Kingdom of Poland. The name is derived from the Latin strada una, meaning "a street"; the village was located at a junction in Masuria between the Teutonic Knights and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania during the Middle Ages. There was a filial church of the Catholic parish in Stare Juchy in the village.
