Dobrocinek [dɔbrɔˈt͡ɕinɛk] (German: Klein Güttmannsdorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Dzierżoniów, within Dzierżoniów County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 12 km (7 mi) south-east of Dzierżoniów, and 63 km (39 mi) south-west of the regional capital Wrocław.

Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union.
