Unikowice [unikɔˈvit͡sɛ] (German: Heinzendorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Paczków, within Nysa County, Opole Voivodeship, in south-western Poland, close to the Czech border.[1] It lies approximately 2 kilometres (1 mi) south-east of Paczków, 23 km (14 mi) west of Nysa, and 70 km (43 mi) west of the regional capital Opole.

Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (see Territorial changes of Poland after World War II).

Typical for the region, the German name of the village derives from the name of the Lokator who brought German farmers to the village which was a typical Waldhufendorf.[2]

The village has a population of 360.
