Brokęcino [brɔkɛnˈt͡ɕinɔ] (German: Bahrenbusch) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Okonek, within Złotów County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) north-west of Okonek, 28 km (17 mi) north-west of Złotów, and 130 km (81 mi) north of the regional capital Poznań.

Before 1648 the area was part of Duchy of Pomerania, 1648-1945 Prussia and Germany. 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. For the history of the region, see History of Pomerania.
