Jaczów [ˈjat͡ʂuf] (German: Friedenshagen; until 1937: Jätschau) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Jerzmanowa, within Głogów County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5 km (3 mi) north-east of Jerzmanowa, 3 km (2 mi) south of Głogów, and 87 km (54 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.

The village has an approximate population of 1,000.
