Droglowice [drɔɡlɔˈvit͡sɛ] (German: Eichendamm; until 1937 Drogelwitz) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Pęcław, within Głogów County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 3 km (2 mi) north of Pęcław, 11 km (7 mi) east of Głogów, and 82 km (51 mi) north-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.
