Bobrowniki () is a town in Lipno County, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, in central Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Bobrowniki. It lies approximately 17 kilometres (11 mi) south-west of Lipno and 37 km (23 mi) south-east of Toruń. In the Middle Ages the town was one of the centres of the Dobrzyń Land.

Near Bobrowniki, there is a remarkable power line crossing of the Vistula river.

History

The town contains ruins of the castle, built at the end of 14th century by Teutonic Knights at the place of a former Polish gród.

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), several local farmers and activists were among the victimes of a massacre of Poles, perpetrated by the Germans in nearby Radomice on October 8, 1939 as part of the genocidal Intelligenzaktion campaign. Local Polish teachers were arrested and imprisoned in Włocławek, and two local school principals were sent to Nazi concentration camps and murdered there.
