Stargard Gubiński [ˈstarɡart ɡuˈbiɲski] (German: Stargardt) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Gubin, within Krosno Odrzańskie County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland, close to the German border.[1] The name Stargard stands for old town, old city, or old fortification. It's a combination of a Slavic term stari (old) and gard (town/city/fortification). The term gard is of Pomeranian origin and survived as such in the Kashubian language. It lies approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) south-east of Gubin, 27 km (17 mi) south-west of Krosno Odrzańskie, and 50 km (31 mi) west of Zielona Góra.

Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (see Territorial changes of Poland after World War II). After the war, its population was dispossessed and forcibly expelled, and replaced by ethnic Poles.
