Szczakowa is a district of the Polish city of Jaworzno. Located in historical Lesser Poland, it now belongs to the Silesian Voivodeship and is one of the most important rail hubs of the area.

It was first mentioned in 1427 as Sczacowa. In the years 1933-1956, it was a separate town, but in that year was merged into Jaworzno.[1]

It is where the football club Szczakowianka Jaworzno comes and derives its name from.
