Koszęcin is a village in Lubliniec County, Silesian Voivodeship, in southern Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Koszęcin.
== History == The village was first mentioned in 1277, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland. Later on it passed to Bohemia (Czechia). In 1640, Koszęcin was bought by Fryderyk Blacha. It was annexed by Prussia in the 18th century, and from 1871 it was also part of Germany. It was the site of fights during the Polish Third Silesian Uprising against Germany in 1921, and afterwards it was reintegrated with Poland, which just regained independence following World War I.
