Raciborowice Górne [rat͡ɕibɔrɔˈvit͡sɛ ˈɡurnɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Warta Bolesławiecka, within Bolesławiec County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 3 km (2 mi) south-east of Warta Bolesławiecka, 12 km (7 mi) south-east of Bolesławiec, and 94 km (58 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław. Its name means "Upper Raciborowice" (as distinct from Raciborowice Dolne, "Lower Raciborowice").

Prior to 1945 the village was in Germany and known as Ober Groß Hartmannsdorf. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union.
