Nowy Sącz County, Administrative district in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland.

The territory stretches across 1,550 square kilometers of southern Poland, bordering Slovakia and containing five municipalities: Krynica-Zdrój, Stary Sącz, Grybów, Piwniczna-Zdrój, and Muszyna.

The county emerged from Polish administrative reforms in 1999, though its lands belonged to Kraków Voivodeship until 1772 when the territory became part of Austrian Galicia.

The district maintains multiple wooden churches, Roman Catholic structures, medieval fortifications, and museums showcasing regional heritage, including the Nikifor Museum in Krynica-Zdrój.

The county headquarters operates from Nowy Sącz city, which stands independently as a separate administrative unit while serving as the district capital.

The territory contains numerous balneological resorts, including Zegiestów, Krynica-Zdrój, Muszyna, and Piwniczna-Zdrój, utilizing natural mineral springs for health treatments.
