Nowe Węgorzynko is a rural settlement in Gmina Węgorzyno, Łobez County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.

It had two bus bays installed in 2017.[1]

The village is the site of the pig sanctuary Gieniutkowo, established in 2021.[2][3] The sanctuary houses 34 pigs in an area of one hectare. It is owned and operated by a graphic designer and an IT specialist,[4] Monica and Marcin Krasoń. They are a couple, originally from Łódź,[5][4] and both vegans.[2] The pigs come from interventions against animal abuse or were donated voluntarily by owners unable to take care of them.[2] One of the pigs has legs impaired by vertebral paralysis and uses wheels.[3]
