Rybarzowice [rɨbaʐɔˈvit͡sɛ] (German: Reibersdorf) is a former village in the administrative district of Gmina Bogatynia, within Zgorzelec County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland, close to the Czech and German borders.[1] Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. Following World War II the native German populace was expelled and replaced by Poles.

It was situated approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) south-west of Bogatynia, 29 kilometres (18 mi) south of Zgorzelec, and 152 kilometres (94 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.

The last buildings in the village were demolished in 2000, as a result of the expansion of lignite mining operations in the area.
