Laski is a village in Poland, in Masovian Voivodship, to the west of Warsaw, in the commune of Izabelin. It is located at the southern border of the Kampinos Forest and is a notable resort, with 1,600 permanent inhabitants (1998).

The village is notable for its resort, hospital and schools for blind people run by Towarzystwo Opieki nad Ociemniałymi and the Franciscan friars. In addition, a shelter for lone mothers run by "Towarzystwo Pomocy im. Adama Chmielowskiego" is located there. Near the blinded institute a wooden chapel is located (built in 1925), one of the most notable architectural monuments of the area. There is also a small World War II cemetery and a civilian cemetery where, among others, a grave of Antoni Słonimski is located.
