Wiązów [ˈvjɔ̃zuf] (German: Wansen) is a town in Strzelin County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland. It is the seat of the administrative district (gmina) called Gmina Wiązów. The town lies approximately 11 kilometres (7 mi) east of Strzelin, and 37 kilometres (23 mi) south 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. (For more information about the history of the region, see Silesia.)
As at 2012, the town has a population of 2,341.
