Dzierzkowa [d͡ʑeʂˈkɔva] (German: Dätzdorf) is a small village in the administrative district of Gmina Przeworno, within Strzelin County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] 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 10 kilometres (6 mi) east of Przeworno, 13 kilometres (8 mi) south-east of Strzelin, and 50 kilometres (31 mi) south of the regional capital Wrocław.
