Gierczyn [ˈɡʲɛrt͡ʂɨn] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Mirsk, within Lwówek Śląski County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland, close to the Czech border.

It lies approximately 6 kilometres (4 mi) south of Mirsk, 26 km (16 mi) south-west of Lwówek Śląski, and 118 km (73 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
