Lipka [ˈlipka] (German: Linde) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Dolice, within Stargard County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) north-east of Dolice, 18 km (11 mi) south-east of Stargard, and 49 km (30 mi) east of the regional capital Szczecin.

Before 1945 the village was part of Germany and known as Linde. 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 were replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union.
