In Poland, zaścianek (Polish: [zaˈɕt͡ɕa.nɛk] , literally: " behind the wall") was historically a village where petty nobility (drobna szlachta) lived, especially in Mazovia and Podlachia. The derived adjective zaściankowy means out-of-the-way or narrow-minded.

Former zaściankis include:

• Giełny
• Kołodziszcze, now agrotown
• Rezgiuki
