Wołosi are a Polish ethnographic group living in Cieszyn Silesia, around the towns of Cieszyn and Skoczów,, to south east from Silesian Lachs group. The name, similar to Vlachs (Polish: Wołosi), is probably not directly associated with that group but is derived from the nickname given to them by their neighbour groups.

Wałasi dwell on Silesian Foothils and north-western slopes of Silesian Beskids in the watershed of Vistula and Olza rivers, within Cieszyn Silesia. To the north of Wałasi lives Polish Silesian Lachs group, to the west Czech Lachs, to the east Polish repatriants in Bielsko-Biała (preceded by Germans), and Silesian Gorals to the south. .

The ethnographic area is not associated with language borders as Wałasi live further to the west. Furthermore Silesian Wałasi are subdivided into two groups: more populous in the east (around Cieszyn), and less populous in the west (east from Frýdek, exclusively in the Zaolzie region, that was overwhelmed by Czech people..

Jan Stanisław Bystroń stated that Wałasi are descendats of the mountainous Vlachs. Currently Wałasi are acknowledged as a Gorals-scioned group that settled foothills. Characteristic distinctiveness of this group connects its traits with Gorals.

Wałasi traditionally wear Cieszyn folk costume, locally known also as wałaski.
