Piskorowice [pʲiskɔrɔˈvʲit͡sɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Leżajsk, within Leżajsk County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in south-eastern Poland. It lies approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) south-east of Leżajsk and 43 km (27 mi) north-east of the regional capital Rzeszów.[1]

In Piskorowice and outlying villages a massacre of between 160 and 400 ethnic Ukrainians led by members of the National Military Organization of the "Wolyniak" group, aided by Polish civilians, took place on 16 April 1945.[2] It is sometimes referred to as part of the wider Pawłokoma massacres.

From the Polish viewpoint of that time these actions were deemed to be retaliation for the anti-Polish crimes against humanity committed by the UPA. The immediate reason of this retaliation was the massacre committed by UPA the day before in the village Wiązownica.[3]
