Walce [ˈvalt͡sɛ], additional name in German: Walzen,[1] is a village in Krapkowice County, Opole Voivodeship, in south-western Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Walce.[2] It lies approximately 11 km (7 mi) south of Krapkowice and 34 km (21 mi) south of the regional capital Opole.

In July 1945, the village was the site of the Walce Uprising—a rebellion of local Germans and Silesians against the Polish authorities.[3]
