Damianowo [damjaˈnɔvɔ] (German: Damsdorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Udanin, within Środa Śląska County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] Once an estate of the Richthofen family, 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.

It lies approximately 7 kilometres (4 mi) west of Udanin, 19 kilometres (12 mi) south-west of Środa Śląska, and 48 kilometres (30 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
