Kukuryki [kukuˈrɨkʲi] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Terespol, within Biała Podlaska County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland, close to the border with Belarus.[1] It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) north of Terespol, 32 km (20 mi) east of Biała Podlaska, and 118 km (73 mi) north-east of the regional capital Lublin.

A major road border crossing on Poland's National Road DK68 into Belarus is located at the village. Kazłovičy is located across the border. This crossing is an alternative to the Terespol-Brest crossing further south. Kukuryki is expected to be the eastern terminus of the planned extension of Poland's A2 motorway, which will connect with the Belarusian M 1 motorway across the border in Kazłovičy, north of Brest.
