Szczyty-Dzięciołowo [ˈʂt͡ʂɨtɨ d͡ʑent͡ɕɔˈwɔvɔ] (Belarusian: Шчыты-Дзенцëлово) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Orla, within Bielsk County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) north-east of Orla, 11 km (7 mi) east of Bielsk Podlaski, and 44 km (27 mi) south of the regional capital Białystok.

It is in one of five Polish/Belarusian bilingual Gmina in Podlaskie Voivodeship regulated by the Act of 6 January 2005 on National and Ethnic Minorities and on the Regional Languages, which permits certain gminas with significant linguistic minorities to introduce a second, auxiliary language to be used in official contexts alongside Polish.[2]
