Private towns[a] in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth were privately owned towns within the lands owned by magnates, bishops, knights, princes, etc.

Amongst the most well-known former private magnate towns are Białystok, Zamość, Rzeszów, Puławy, Tarnów, Siedlce, Biała Podlaska, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil and Uman. Magnate palaces and castles can be often found in former private magnate towns.

Also various other landmarks were often founded by the owners, including town halls, churches, monasteries, schools, theatres, etc., some rather unique, like the Mannerist Kalwaria Zebrzydowska Park and Baroque fortified Berdychiv Carmelite Monastery.
Some of the most known former private bishop towns include Łódź, Kielce, Łowicz, Pabianice and Skierniewice.
