Rarwino [rarˈvinɔ] (German: Rarwien)[1] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kamień Pomorski, within Kamień County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.[2] It lies approximately 7 kilometres (4 mi) south-east of Kamień Pomorski and 58 km (36 mi) north of the regional capital Szczecin.

During World War II, in February 1945, a German-perpetrated death march of Allied prisoners-of-war from the Stalag XX-B POW camp passed through the village.[3]
