Audio|Kaczyce.ogg|Kaczyce is a village in Gmina Zebrzydowice, Cieszyn County, Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland, on the border with the Czech Republic. It has a population of 3,008 (2004 est.). It lies in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia, on the Olza River.

The village was established in the 14th century, probably by Włodzimierz Kacz. Since 1770 it was owned successively by the Spens family, baron Beess and, from the middle of the 19th century, by count Larisch. There is a wooden church dating from 1620 in the village, relocated here from Ruptawa near Jastrzębie Zdrój in 1971-1972. The Morcinek coal mine (named after writer Gustaw Morcinek) in the village was closed in 1997 after short activity.
