Sulín (Rusyn: Сулин, romanized: Sulyn; Hungarian: Szulin) is a village and municipality in Stará Ľubovňa District in the Prešov Region of northern Slovakia.
In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1960. Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, Sulín was part of Sáros County within the Kingdom of Hungary. From 1939 to 1945, it was part of the Slovak Republic. On 24 January 1945, the Red Army dislodged the Wehrmacht from Sulín and it was once again part of Czechoslovakia.
