Dziećmorowice [d͡ʑɛt͡ɕmɔrɔˈvit͡sɛ] (German: Dittmansdorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Walim, within Wałbrzych County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 11 kilometres (7 mi) north-west of Walim, 6 kilometres (4 mi) east of Wałbrzych, and 63 kilometres (39 mi) south-west of the regional capital Wrocław.

Before 1945 the area was part of 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.
