Krośnice [krɔɕˈnit͡sɛ] (German: Kraschnitz) is a village in Milicz County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.^[1] It is the seat of the administrative district (gmina) called Gmina Krośnice. It lies approximately 10 kilometres (6 mi) south-east of Milicz and 45 km (28 mi) north-east of the regional capital Wrocław.

Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. Count Adalbert von der Recke had established a Samaritan psychiatric hospital for children here in 1860, modeled after his orphanage in Düsseltal, Rhineland. 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.

The village has a population of 1,800.
