Stargard Gubiński [ˈstarɡart ɡuˈbiɲski] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Gubin, within Krosno Odrzańskie County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland, close to the German border.^[1] The name Stargard stands for old town, old city, or old fortification. It's a combination of a Slavic term stari (old) and gard (town/city/fortification). The term gard is of Pomeranian origin and survived as such in the Kashubian language. It lies approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) south-east of Gubin, 27 km (17 mi) south-west of Krosno Odrzańskie, and 50 km (31 mi) west of Zielona Góra.

Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (see Territorial changes of Poland after World War II).
