Czarnca [ˈt͡ʂarnt͡sa] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Włoszczowa, within Włoszczowa County, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, in south-central Poland. It lies approximately 7 kilometres (4 mi) south-west of Włoszczowa and 51 km (32 mi) west of the regional capital Kielce.[1]

Historically, the village is connected to the Czarniecki family of the Łodzia coat of arms dating back to 1184. At present, a 17th-century church is located in the village. It is the site of burial of famous Polish military commander, 17th-century hetman Stefan Czarniecki, who was born in the village and funded the construction of the church.
