Dobromierz [dɔˈbrɔmjɛʂ] (German: Hohenfriedeberg) is a village-sized municipality in Świdnica County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland. The municipality lies approximately 16 kilometres (10 mi) north-west of Świdnica, and 61 kilometres (38 mi) south-west of the regional capital Wrocław. It has a population of 800.

It is the main municipality and the seat of the administrative district (gmina) called Gmina Dobromierz.
