Górka Wąsoska [ˈɡurka vɔ̃ˈsɔska] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wąsosz, within Góra County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1]

It lies approximately 4 km (2 mi) north of Wąsosz, 14 km (9 mi) south-east of Góra, and 56 km (35 mi) north-west of the regional capital Wrocław.

The name of the village is of Polish origin and comes from the word góra, which means "hill".[2] The adjective Wąsoska was added after the nearby town of Wąsosz to distinguish it from other villages of the same name.
