Kukuryki is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Terespol, within Biała Podlaska County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland, close to the border with Belarus.[1] It lies approximately 3km (02miles) north of Terespol, 320NaN0 east of Biała Podlaska, and 1180NaN0 north-east of the regional capital Lublin.

A major road border crossing on Poland's National Road DK68 into Belarus is located at the village. Kazłovičy is located across the border. This crossing is an alternative to the Terespol-Brest crossing further south. Kukuryki is expected to be the eastern terminus of the planned extension of Poland's A2 motorway, which will connect with the Belarusian motorway across the border in Kazłovičy, north of Brest.
