Wrocisławice [vrɔt͡ɕiswaˈvit͡sɛ] is a village in Lower Silesia, in the administrative district of Gmina Środa Śląska within Środa Śląska County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.^[1]

The history of the village most likely goes back to the 13th century (the neighboring village of Bukówek was founded in 1282). A parish church already existed in the village in the Middle Ages. The present church of St Lawrence was built at the beginning of the 17th century and features an 18th-century altar painting of St Lawrence with a splendid polichrome wooden frame and a baroque painting of St Nicolaus.
