Różyniec [ruˈʐɨɲet͡s] (German: Rosenthal) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Gromadka, within Bolesławiec County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] 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.

It lies approximately 6 km (4 mi) south-west of Gromadka, 12 km (7 mi) north-east of Bolesławiec, and 95 km (59 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
