Bagieniec [baˈɡʲɛɲɛt͡s] (German: Teichenau) is a village in the urban-rural Gmina Jaworzyna Śląska, within Świdnica County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) south-east of Jaworzyna Śląska, 7 kilometres (4 mi) north-east of Świdnica, and 48 kilometres (30 mi) south-west of the regional capital Wrocław.

Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles.
