Jankowa Żagańska [janˈkɔva ʐaˈɡaɲska] (German: Hansdorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Iłowa, within Żagań County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 10 kilometres (6 mi) north of Iłowa, 12 km (7 mi) west of Żagań, and 46 km (29 mi) south-west of Zielona Góra.

Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (see Territorial changes of Poland after World War II). 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.

The village has an approximate population of 600.
