Czarna Łąka (German: Wilhelmsfelde) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Goleniów, within Goleniów County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 12km (07miles) south-west of Goleniów and 110NaN0 north-east of the regional capital Szczecin.

The village has a population of 350.

In the past the area formed part of Poland, the Duchy of Pomerania, the Kingdom of Prussia, and from 1871 to 1945 it was part of Germany. When part of Nazi Germany, a forced labour subcamp of the Nazi prison in Szczecin was operated in the village.[2] After Germany's defeat in World War II, the region became again part of Poland.
