Wysłouch is the name of a Lithuanian-Polish aristocratic family. It was first mentioned in 1385, when alongside with a number of Lithuanian noble clans it was admitted in the ranks of the Polish nobility, however that fact implies that Wysłouch family was prominent even before that date. The Wysłouch family used the "Odyniec" arms.
The family owned manor houses of Pirkowicze, Studzieniec, Leżajka and others, most of which are currently abandoned or destroyed.
