Kinice [kiˈnit͡sɛ] (German: Kienitz) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Nowogródek Pomorski, within Myślibórz County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.[2] It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) north-east of Nowogródek Pomorski, 15 km (9 mi) east of Myślibórz, and 64 km (40 mi) south-east of the regional capital Szczecin.

From 1871 to 1945 the area was part of Germany. After World War II the region became part of Poland, according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The German population was expelled and replaced with Poles, many of whom were expelled from pre-war Eastern Polish territories annexed by the Soviet Union.

In Kinice there is a Catholic church of Our Lady of Help to the Faithful, subordinate to the parish in nearby Nowogródek Pomorski. [3]

Polish speedway rider, 2019 World Champion Bartosz Zmarzlik comes from Kinice.[4]
