Zgorzelec (Lusatian: Zhorjelc, Czech: Zhorelec) is a town in south-western Poland with 36,800 inhabitants (1995). Situated in the Lower Silesian Voivodship since 1999, previously in Jelenia Góra Voivodship (1975-1998). The city is located on the Nysa Luzycka river, the Polish-German border close to the German city of Görlitz, of which it was once the eastern part. In the 1950s a large number of Greek immigrants, mainly Communist partisans defeated in the Greek Civil War, were settled there.

Since the fall of Communism in 1989, Zgorzelec and the German city of Görlitz have developed a close political relationship.
