Drogomyśl [drɔˈɡɔmɨɕl] (German: Drahomischl, Czech: Drahomyšl) is a village in Gmina Strumień, Cieszyn County, in the Silesian Voivodeship of southern Poland.[1] It has a population of 2,121 (2008) and lies in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia, on the Vistula River.

The village was first mentioned in a written document in 1452. In 1737 it was bought by Kalisch family. In the years 1788-1897 Lutheran church was built here, as one of the last in Cieszyn Silesia after 1782 Edict of Tolerance was issued and before Spring of Nations. The Catholic Our Lady of Częstochowa Church was built in 1969.

In the western part of the sołectwo is located Knaj, formerly a separate village.
