Janowo [jaˈnɔvɔ] (German: Johannisberg) is a settlement in the administrative district of Gmina Warnice, within Pyrzyce County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) south of Warnice, 10 km (6 mi) north-east of Pyrzyce, and 38 km (24 mi) south-east of the regional capital Szczecin.

The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles. For the history of the region, see History of Pomerania.
