Czerna [ˈt͡ʂɛrna] (German: Alteichen; until 1936: Klein Tschirne) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Żukowice, within Głogów County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 8 km (5 mi) north-west of Żukowice, 14 km (9 mi) north-west of Głogów, and 103 km (64 mi) north-west of the regional capital Wrocław.

Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles.
