Wilków [ˈvilkuf] (German: Wilkau, 1937-45: Wolfau) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Głogów, within Głogów County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 10 km (6 mi) north-east of Głogów, and 87 km (54 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 by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union.

The village has an approximate population of 500.
