Wądroże Wielkie [vɔnˈdrɔʐɛ ˈvjɛlkʲɛ] (German: Groß Wandriß) is a village in Jawor County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It is the seat of the administrative district (gmina) called Gmina Wądroże Wielkie. It lies approximately 13 km (8 mi) north-east of Jawor, and 50 km (31 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław. The village has a population of 620.

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.
