Banie Mazurskie [ˈbaɲɛ maˈzurskʲɛ] (German: Benkheim) is a village in Gołdap County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland, close to the border with the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Banie Mazurskie.^[1] It lies approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) south-west of Gołdap and 113 km (70 mi) north-east of the regional capital Olsztyn.

Before 1945, the area was part of Germany (East Prussia). After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles.

The village has a population of 1,500.
