Jaryszów ([jaˈrɨʂuf]) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Ujazd, within Strzelce County, Opole Voivodeship, in south-western Poland. It lies approximately 3 km (2 mi) north of Ujazd, 11 km (7 mi) south-east of Strzelce Opolskie, and 41 km (25 mi) south-east of the regional capital Opole.
The oldest known mention of Jaryszów dates back to 1265, when it was part of the Piast-ruled fragmented Poland. Its name comes from the Old Polish male name Jaromir, Jarosław or Jarysz. It became part of Bohemia under the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, and later part of various German states. In the final stages of World War II, in January 1945, the Germans executed a group of prisoners of the Auschwitz concentration camp in the village.
Jaryszów's landmark is the medieval church of the Assumption.
