Izbica Kujawska pronounced [izˈbʲit͡sa kuˈjafska] is a town in central Poland with 2,808 inhabitants (2004). It is situated in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship (since 1999), having previously been in Włocławek Voivodeship (1975-1998).
In the Izbica forest on the way to village Wietrzychowice there's a group of megalithic tombs called Polish Pyramids.
