Radawczyk is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Niedrzwica Duża, within Lublin County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 6km (04miles) north of Niedrzwica Duża and 160NaN0 south-west of the regional capital Lublin.

Radawczyk used to have a large German population. There was a church of baptists ("kapela"), later transformed into a depot; it burnt down in 2001.

The Ciemięnga river flows through the village. The name of the village is related to two older nearby villages (Radawiec Mały and Radawiec Duży).
