Krzeczyn Wielki ( _de. Groß Krichen) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lubin, within Lubin County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland. The appendix "Wielki" (Great) serves to distinguish the place from the neighbouring Krzeczyn Mały (Little Krzeczyn). Another Lower Silesian municipality called Krzeczyn is in Gmina Oleśnica.

The village was first mentioned as Old Polish "Chrechim" in a 1267 deed by Pope Clement IV concerning the grant of tithes to the abbey of Trzebnica ("Trebnitz"). German colonists settled here from about 1280 on under the German city law of the nearby town of Lubin, invited by the ruling Silesian lords of the Piast dynasty.

In 1945, as a result of the Potsdam Conference, Krzeczyn Wielki was placed under the jurisdiction of Poland. The German-speaking population was expelled and Poles were settled here, who themselves had been expelled from Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union.
