Gostków [ˈɡɔstkuf] (German Gießmannsdorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Stare Bogaczowice, within Wałbrzych County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] Prior to 1945 it was in 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.

It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) west of Stare Bogaczowice, 15 kilometres (9 mi) north-west of Wałbrzych, and 73 kilometres (45 mi) south-west of the regional capital Wrocław.
