Magdalenka [maɡdaˈlɛŋka] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lesznowola, within Piaseczno County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland.[2] It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) north-west of Lesznowola, 9 km (6 mi) north-west of Piaseczno, and 15 km (9 mi) south-west of Warsaw.

It was also the site of a bloody conflict between Polish Special Forces, BOA, and two heavily armed mafia combatants in 2003. It resulted in two police officers being killed and seventeen wounded.[3] The mafia combatants used homemade mines and explosives, while they also had at least twenty eight weapons - from handguns to rifles.[4]
