Krzewina [kʂɛˈvina] (German: Grunau) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Bogatynia, within Zgorzelec County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland, close to the Czech and German borders. Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. Following World War II the native German populace was expelled and replaced by Poles.

It lies approximately 12 kilometres (7 mi) north of Bogatynia, 16 km (10 mi) south of Zgorzelec, and 147 km (91 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.

Krzewina has a railway station, called Krzewina Zgorzelecka, which is currently serviced by the Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn OE 65 service to Görlitz, Cottbus and Zittau, all in Germany. It is located outside the village and mainly serves the German town of Ostritz, which is just across the river. Polish State Railways have withdrawn their passenger services from this station.
