Trzcianka is a town in the Greater Poland region in Poland. Since 1999 it has belonged to Greater Poland Voivodeship and Czarnków-Trzcianka County. Previously it was in Pila Voivodeship (1975–1998). Trzcianka has 17,131 inhabitants (May 2007). From 1772 to 1945 the town was in Prussia, Germany and its name was Schönlanke.

There is a mention of Trzcianka in a document dated 1245. In this year the Polish king Bolesław Wstydliwy gave the land in the valley of Notec river to Sedziwoj of Czarnków. There were three villages: Biala, Gulcz, and Rozdrozka. Probably, Rodrozka was placed where Trzcianka is today. The new name was Trzciana Laka, which was changed to Trzcionka in the 17th century. Soviet troops marching towards Berlin from the east entered Schönlanke on 27 January 1945.
