Klecza [ˈklɛt͡ʂa] (German: Hußdorf; until 1935: Ober Hußdorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wleń, within Lwówek Śląski County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) west of Wleń, 13 kilometres (8 mi) south of Lwówek Śląski, and 100 kilometres (62 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.

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.
