Gmina Siechnice is an urban-rural gmina (administrative district) in Wrocław County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland. Its seat is the town of Siechnice, which lies approximately 13km (08miles) south-east of the county and regional capital, Wrocław. It is part of the Wrocław metropolitan area.
