Sarnów [ˈsarnuf] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Tuszów Narodowy, within Mielec County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in south-eastern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 6 km (4 mi) east of Tuszów Narodowy, 11 km (7 mi) north-east of Mielec, and 49 km (30 mi) north-west of the regional capital Rzeszów.

The village was established in the course of Josephine colonization by German Lutheran and Calvinist settlers in 1783.[2] They build a church which became a religious centre of Protestants in the nearby colonies. In 1867 the seat of the parish was moved to Czermin, Podkarpackie Voivodeship.
