Okonek [ɔˈkɔnɛk] is a town in Poland, in Greater Poland Voivodeship, with approximately 4,200 inhabitants. Town and commune in Złotów County. Chartered as a town in 1754.
Before 1945 the village was part of Germany and known as Ratzebuhr.

Most Germans fled or were expelled and replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union.
