Krobica [krɔˈbit͡sa] 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.[1]

It lies approximately 6 kilometres (4 mi) south-west of Mirsk, 27 kilometres (17 mi) south-west of Lwówek Śląski, and 121 kilometres (75 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
