Stare Bogaczowice [ˈstarɛ bɔɡat͡ʂɔˈvit͡sɛ] (German: Altreichenau) is a village in Wałbrzych County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in southwestern Poland.[1] It is the seat of the administrative district (gmina) called Gmina Stare Bogaczowice. 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 12 kilometres (7 mi) northwest of Wałbrzych, and 69 kilometres (43 mi) southwest of the regional capital Wrocław and has a population of 1,450.
