Puchałowo [puxaˈwɔvɔ] (German: Puchallowen; 1936 - 1945 Windau) is a largely abandoned village in the administrative district of Gmina Janowo, within Nidzica County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.^[1] It lies approximately 21 kilometres (13 mi) east of Nidzica and 47 km (29 mi) south of the regional capital Olsztyn.

Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (East Prussia).

As a result of a decision about the expansion of the Muszaki proving ground, the population of the village was resettled and most of the village razed to the ground. Only a few houses remains, making it very similar to what is left from Ulesie, which also was largely razed to the ground as a result of the proving ground expansion.
