Mściwojów [mɕt͡ɕiˈvɔjuf], pronounced Mshchivóyuv, is a village in Jawor County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It is the seat of the administrative district (gmina) called Gmina Mściwojów.

Prior to 1945, the village was in Germany and known as Profen. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union.

It lies approximately 7 km (4 mi) east of Jawor, and 55 km (34 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.
