Pogwizdów is a village in Gmina Hażlach, Cieszyn County in Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland, on the border with the Czech Republic. It lies on the Olza River, in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia. It has a population of 3,499 (2007).

It was first mentioned in a written document in 1447. First wooden church in the village was built in 1722. New church was built in 1817 and then renovated in 1860. During so-called "hungry years" of 1848-1849, only two families are reported to survive the hunger.

There was a border crossing on the Olza River in the village in the past.
