Królówka (German: Kralowka) is a sołectwo in the south of Orzesze, Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland.^[1] It was an independent village but was, as a part of gmina Gardawice, administratively merged into Orzesze in 1975.^[2] It has an area of 5.6 km² and about 260 inhabitants.^[3]

The village was established in the 13th or 14th century. Historically it was tied with Woszczyce (common noble owners, Catholic parish, municipality, elementary school).^[4]
