Klenica [klɛˈnit͡sa] (German: Kleinitz) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Bojadła, within Zielona Góra County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) north-west of Bojadła and 20 km (12 mi) east of Zielona Góra.

Beginning of settlement in this place goes back to the eighth century when there was a settlement here, the castle and Podgrodzie peoples group called Tornow-Klenica. The first written mention of Klenicy is on file and Poznan bishopric dates from 1424. In the years 1975-1998 belonged to the administrative village population of Zielona Gora.

In 1787 Peter von Biron, last Duke of Courland, acquired the former Jesuit estate together with the neighbouring Otyń and bequested it to his daughter Dorothea in 1800. Klenica later passed to the noble families of Radziwiłł and Czartoryski.

Before 1945 the village was part of Germany.

The village has a population of 1,400.
