Figlów (German: Folgenhäuser) is a settlement in Gmina Bolków, Jawor County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland. It lies approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) south of Jawor and 67 km (42 mi) south-west of Wrocław (capital city of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship).

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.

From 1975 to 1998 the village was in Jelenia Góra Voivodeship.
