Bukowna [buˈkɔvna] (German: Buchwald) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lubin, within Lubin County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 15 kilometres (9 mi) south-west of Lubin, and 72 kilometres (45 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.

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.
