Dobiegniew [dɔˈbʲɛɡɲɛf] (German: Woldenberg) is a town in Poland, in Lubusz Voivodeship, in Strzelce-Drezdenko County. It has 3,189 inhabitants (2004).

Before 1945 the area was part of Germany. In World War II, the Oflag II-C POW camp was located nearby.

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.
