Treblinka [IPA|trɛˈbliŋka] is a village with 350 inhabitants in the east of Poland.

It belongs to the county of (Gmina) Małkinia Górna, (Powiat Ostrowski) in the state of Mazowsze Voivodship.

The village, which lies close to the river Western Bug, attained notoriety during the Holocaust through the Treblinka extermination camp. The commandant of the death camp was Franz Stangl, among others. Treblinka was the first death camp to experience an uprising against the SS on 2 August 1943. As a result of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, survivors were sent to Treblinka, where they developed again into resistance groups, and then planned and executed the uprising.
