Grądzkie [ˈɡrɔnt͡skʲɛ] (German: Langenhaken) is a settlement in the administrative district of Gmina Brzeżno, within Świdwin County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 12 km (7 mi) south-east of Świdwin and 92 km (57 mi) east of the regional capital Szczecin.

Before 1945 the area was part of Germany. After World War II and the subsequent border shift, 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.
