Jedlina-Zdrój (German: Charlottenbrunn) is a town in Wałbrzych County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western part of Poland. The town lies approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) south-east of Wałbrzych, and 67 kilometres (42 mi) south-west of the regional capital Wrocław.

Before 1945 the area was part of Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed in accordance with the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles. (For more information about the history of the region, see Silesia.)

As at 2006, the town has a population of 5,116.
