Łośno [ˈwɔɕnɔ] (German Lotzen) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kłodawa, within Gorzów County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) north-east of Kłodawa and 13 km (8 mi) north of Gorzów Wielkopolski.

Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (see Territorial changes of Poland after World War II). 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 by Poles.
