Gryfów Śląski (German: Greiffenberg), simplified to Gryfów, is a historic town in Lwówek Śląski County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.
After the First Silesian War it was annexed by Prussia in 1742. In 1865 the Greiffenberg station opened on the Silesian Mountain Railway line from Görlitz to Reibnitz (Rybnica).
From 1871 to 1945 the town was part of the German Empire. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement. The town's pre-war population was forcibly expelled to Germany, and the vicinity was resettled with Polish citizens new to the region. Since the town had not an established Polish name, the new name of Gryfów Śląski was adopted. Some of the new inhabitants were Polish refugees from regions located east of the pre-war eastern territories of Poland, from where they had been displaced by Soviet authorities in accordance to new borders decided at Yalta Conference, while most new settlers were re-settlers from central Poland.
