Ciechania [t͡ɕeˈxaɲa] (Ukrainian: Тиханя, Tykhania) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Krempna, within Jasło County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in south-eastern Poland, close to the border with Slovakia. It lies approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) south of Krempna, 34 km (21 mi) south of Jasło, and 74 km (46 mi) south-west of the regional capital Rzeszów.[1]

The village was founded by the Stadnicki family in the 16th century. At the end of the World War II it was a strong defensive outpost of the German forces. During the Battle of the Dukla Pass it was destroyed. Up to 2006 there was a picturesque tourist track through the Ciechania valley which was closed by the authorities of the Magura National Park.
