Boleszkowice [bɔlɛʂkɔˈvit͡sɛ] (German: Fürstenfelde) is a village in Myślibórz County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland, close to the German border. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Boleszkowice.[1] It lies approximately 32 kilometres (20 mi) south-west of Myślibórz and 78 km (48 mi) south of the regional capital Szczecin.

Before 1945 the area was part of Brandenburg (Frankfurt Region) within Prussia, Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles. For the history of the region, see New March.

The village has a population of 1,316.
