Groblice ([ɡrɔˈblit͡sɛ], German: Grebelwitz[1]) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Siechnice, within Wrocław County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[2]

It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) south-east of Święta Katarzyna, and 16 kilometres (10 mi) south-east of the regional capital Wrocław.

In 1945, in the village, the Germans ordered the first stop of the "death march" of several thousand prisoners from the subcamp in Miłoszyce to the Gross-Rosen concentration camp.[3]

There is a medieval conciliation cross in the village.
