Chobanin [xɔˈbanin] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wieruszów, within Wieruszów County, Łódź Voivodeship, in central Poland. It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) east of Wieruszów and 102 km (63 mi) south-west of the regional capital Łódź.[1]

During the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II, in September 1939, the Germans murdered several local Poles in revenge for the Polish defense (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[2]
