Pulaski (/pəˈlæsk/) is a village in Oswego County, New York, United States. The population was 2,186 at the 2020 census. The village is within the town of Richland, and lies between the eastern shore of Lake Ontario and the Tug Hill region. The village is located on US 11 and is close to I-81. Pulaski lies in the Snowbelt, which is characterized by heavy amounts of lake-effect snow. It has a regional reputation for its heavy snow accumulations and adverse traveling conditions in winter, and for the long duration of winter conditions, often from mid-November through mid-April.

Although the village takes its name after General Casimir Pulaski (/pəˈlæski/ pə-LAS-kee), area residents have traditionally pronounced it with a long "i" (/pəˈlæsk/ pə-LAS-kye). The historic core of the village was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 as the Pulaski Village Historic District.
