Beniaminów is a village in Poland. It has approximately 190 inhabitants (1998) and is located in the Masovian Voivodship, east of Warsaw, between Legionowo and Nieporęt.

Within the village there are remnants of a 19th century fort. In 1917, after the Oath Crisis, members of the Polish Legions who denied to swear an oath of loyalty to the German kaiser were interned there. During World War II, between 1941 and 1944 the Germans organised there a POW camp for Soviet soldiers. Approximately 15.000 of them died because of harsh treatment and malnutrition.
