Machów is an urban area within the city of Tarnobrzeg in Podkarpackie Voivodeship, southeastern Poland. Comprising the southern part of the city, before 1976 Machów was a separate village. The first settlements in the area have been dated to between the 6th and 8th centuries.

Between the 1950s and 1990s it was famous as a center of production of sulfur, with Siarkopol operating an open cast mine nearby until 1992.[1][2][3] In 2010, after sixteen years of remediation works, the old mine site was inundated to form Lake Tarnobrzeg.[4]
