Jeziorno [jɛˈʑɔrnɔ]) (German: Försterei Schöneck)[1] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Iława, within Iława County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[2] It lies approximately 17 kilometres (11 mi) north of Iława and 62 km (39 mi) west of the regional capital Olsztyn.

Before 1945, the village was part of Germany (East Prussia) and known as Försterei Schöneck.[3] After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union or Ukrainians forced to settle in the area through Operation Vistula in 1947.

The village has a population of 60.
