Wierutno [vjɛˈrutnɔ] (German: Vierruthen) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Boleszkowice, within Myślibórz County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland, close to the German border.[1] It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) north-west of Boleszkowice, 32 km (20 mi) south-west of Myślibórz, and 76 km (47 mi) south of the regional capital Szczecin.

Before 1945 the area was part of Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles. For the history of the region, see Neumark.
