Bocianowo [bɔt͡ɕaˈnɔvɔ] (German: Buchental) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kolno, within Olsztyn County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) south of Kolno and 40 km (25 mi) north-east of the regional capital Olsztyn.

Before 1772 the area was part of the Kingdom of Poland; between 1772-1945 it was in Prussia and Germany (East Prussia). After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union or forced to settle in the area through Operation Vistula in 1947.

The village has a population of 20.
