Sulejki [suˈlɛi̯ki] (German: Suleyken, 1938-45 Suleiken) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Świętajno, within Olecko County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 14 kilometres (9 mi) south-west of Olecko and 122 km (76 mi) east of the regional capital Olsztyn.

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

Siegfried Lenz's book of short stories "So zärtlich war Suleyken" refers to a fictitious village of the same name (as mentioned in a postscript in the same book).[2]
