Burdajny [burˈdai̯nɨ] (German: Bordehnen) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Godkowo, within Elbląg County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 31 kilometres (19 mi) east of Elbląg and 54 km (34 mi) north-west of the regional capital Olsztyn.
Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (East Prussia). After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles.
