Podwilk [ˈpɔdvilk] (Slovak: Podvlk) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Jabłonka, within Nowy Targ County, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, in southern Poland, close to the border with Slovakia. It lies approximately 9 kilometres (6 mi) north of Jabłonka, 23 km (14 mi) north-west of Nowy Targ, and 59 km (37 mi) south of the regional capital Kraków.^[1]

The village lies in the drainage basin of the Black Sea (through Orava, Váh and Danube rivers), in the historical region of Orava (Polish: Orawa).

The area became part of Poland in the 10th or early 11th century, and later it passed to Hungary. It became again part of Poland following World War I.
