Rozwadów (Yiddish: ראָזוועדאָוו-Rozvedov‎) is a suburb of Stalowa Wola, Poland. Founded as a town in 1690, it was incorporated into Stalowa Wola in 1973. The Rozwadów suburb of Stalowa Wola included a thriving Jewish shtetl prior to World War II, closely associated with the Jewish communities of Tarnobrzeg and other nearby shtetls including Ulanów, Mielec, and Dzików. These communities, infused with vitality before 1939, were utterly destroyed during the Holocaust. Rozwadow is a major rail junction, see Stalowa Wola-Rozwadów (PKP station).

There exists a Memorial Book (Yizkor Book) for Rozwadow.[1]
