Wojsławice [vɔi̯swaˈvit͡sɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Niemcza, within Dzierżoniów County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1]

Prior to 1945 the village was in Germany and known as Eibendorf. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union.

It lies approximately 2 km (1 mi) east of Niemcza, 22 km (14 mi) east of Dzierżoniów, and 48 km (30 mi) south of the regional capital Wrocław.

In Wojsławice there is an Arboretum called Wojsławice Arboretum.
