Ossala (till December 31, 2001 as at Osala and then contemporary collaterant name of locality as at Ossala after the official law) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Osiek, within Staszów County, à ÂwiÃÂtokrzyskie Voivodeship, in southern Poland. It lies approximately south-west of Osiek, south-east of Staszów, and south-east of the regional capital Kielce.

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany. In 1939, the Polish resistance organized a collection and shipping point for aid packages for Poles who had lost their homes and possessions in other regions, i.e. those arrested or expelled by the Germans and those fleeing Soviet-occupied eastern Poland.
