Kryg [krɨk] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lipinki, within Gorlice County, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, in southern Poland. It lies approximately 4 kilometres (2 mi) west of Lipinki, 7 km (4 mi) east of Gorlice, and 104 km (65 mi) south-east of the regional capital Kraków.^[1]

"Kryg" may come from one of a few roots. In old German, "krieg" means "war", but in old Polish it means jack or device for tensioning crossbows.

The village is situated at the foot of Dubnakowa Mountain, and Łysula Mountain in the valley of the streams Krygowianka and Królówka.

In the center of the village is the church, which is a brick nave temple kept in the Baroque style, built between 1932 and 1934.

In the village there are several dozen oil wells, which now are largely liquidated.
