Krzepice [kʂɛˈpit͡sɛ] is a Polish town near Częstochowa, in Kłobuck County, Silesian Voivodeship.
Main road connections from the Krzepice include those with Wieluń (to the north-west) and Częstochowa (to the south-east) via the National Road 43.
A bypass has now been opened. The design and land acquisition are complete, the necessary permits have been obtained, and the final stage of archaeological work is underway. Construction began on 30 June 2008, and the bypass is now open.
