Marcinków [marˈt͡ɕiŋkuf] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wąchock, within Starachowice County, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, in south-central Poland. It lies approximately 4 kilometres (2 mi) north-west of Wąchock, 8 km (5 mi) north-west of Starachowice, and 35 km (22 mi) north-east of the regional capital Kielce.[1]

Marcinków was the location of several Paleolithic industrial sites, which are now archaeological sites, part of the Rydno Archaeological Reserve, consisting of several hundred former Paleolithic sites stretching from Skarżysko-Kamienna to Wąchock.[2] The sites were discovered in 1921.[2]
