Piechowice [pʲɛxɔˈvʲit͡sɛ] (German: Petersdorf) is a town in Jelenia Góra County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland. It lies approximately 10 kilometres (6 mi) south-west of Jelenia Góra, and 104 kilometres (65 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.

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.

As of 2006, the town has a population of 6,494.
