Borek Strzeliński ( _de. Großburg) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Borów, within Strzelin County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland. Prior to 1945 it was in Germany.

It lies approximately convert|6|km|mi|0 east of Borów, convert|12|km|mi|0 north of Strzelin, and convert|28|km|mi|0 south of the regional capital Wrocław. The village has a population of 960.

Borek was first mentioned as "juxta Borech" in a 1155 deed. About 1234 Henry I the Bearded, Duke of Wrocław granted it to the Bishopric of Lebus. When the Bishopric was secularized in 1598, its estates fell to the Margraviate of Brandenburg, including Borek which became an exclave surrounded by the Silesian lands of the Habsburg monarchy. After the Peace of Breslau in 1742 it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Prussia.
