Grabina [ɡraˈbina] is a settlement in the administrative district of Gmina Zagórów, within Słupca County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland.[1]

The settlement has a population of eight.

Grabina is one of the sites of Nazi crimes against the Polish nation. During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), on November 21-22, 1939, 10 Polish inhabitants of the nearby town of Zagórów, former participants of the Polish Greater Poland uprising (1918–19), were murdered by the Germans in the forest near the village.[2] There is a monument at the site of the massacre.

The village was a place of bog iron mining.
