Dziwigórz [d͡ʑiˈviɡuʂ] (German: Diesdorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Udanin, within Środa Śląska 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 2 kilometres (1 mi) south-west of Udanin, 18 kilometres (11 mi) south-west of Środa Śląska, and 44 kilometres (27 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
