Lánycsók is a village in Baranya County, Hungary.

Until the end of World War II, the majority of the inhabitants was Danube Swabian, also called locally as Stifolder, because their ancestors arrived in the 17th and 18th centuries from Fulda (district).[1] Most of the former German settlers were expelled to Allied-occupied Germany and Allied-occupied Austria in 1945-1948, consequent to the Potsdam Agreement.[2] Only a few Germans of Hungary live there today. The majority are the descendants of Hungarians from the Czechoslovak–Hungarian population exchange, who got the houses of the former Danube Swabian inhabitants.
