Piotrowice Świdnickie [pjɔtrɔˈvit͡sɛ ɕfidˈnit͡skʲɛ] is a village in the urban-rural Gmina Jaworzyna Śląska, within Świdnica County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1]

The village's name probably derives from the name of a Lokator who brought German farmers to the village.[2]

It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) north-east of Jaworzyna Śląska, 11 kilometres (7 mi) north of Świdnica, and 47 kilometres (29 mi) south-west of the regional capital Wrocław.
