Jagielno [jaˈɡʲɛlnɔ] (German: Deutsch-Jägel) is a 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 15 kilometres (9 mi) south-east of Przeworno, 20 kilometres (12 mi) south-east of Strzelin, and 56 kilometres (35 mi) south of the regional capital Wrocław.
