Wołkusz is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lipsk, within Augustów County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland, close to the border with Belarus.

==History== Its creation dates back to the years 1562-1569, in which the Wołkusz manor house was built (as the seat of the Perstuń forester) to service the surrounding villages of osoczniks - guards of the royal forest (Leśne Bohatery, Starożyńce, Kurianka and the peasant village of Skieblewo). Before 1560, a mill was built here on the then important route running from Grodno to Prussia. The mill served the above-mentioned Osock villages.
