Kórnica [kurˈnit͡sa] (German: Körnitz)[2] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Krapkowice, within Krapkowice County, Opole Voivodeship, in southern Poland.[3]

The name of the village is of Polish origin and comes from the word kura, which means "chicken".[4] In the 19th-century Geographical Dictionary of the Kingdom of Poland it was noted as Kurnica.[5]

In July 1945, the village was the site of the Kórnica Uprising—a rebellion of local Germans and Silesians against the Polish authorities.[6]
