Ostrów Lubelski [ˈɔstruf luˈbɛlskʲi] is a town in Gmina Ostrów Lubelski in Lubartów County, Lublin Voivodeship in Poland.
Within the territory of the town and commune there are three lakes: Miejskie Lake, Kleszczów Lake and Czarne Lake. The commune is a typically agricultural area. It is constituted by 1,009 farms and 167 plots of ground. Ostrów Lubelski belongs to the historic province of Lesser Poland. The majority of farms are not concentrated on one particular kind of production; some specialise in cattle breeding for export, others in poultry breeding (geese, ducks), and yet others in pig breeding. Climate and water supplies are favourable for agriculture. In addition to grain, farms also grow herbs (thyme, lovage, camomile and mallow) and oil plants.
"Ostrów" derives from a Slavic word meaning "island".
