Dębica [dɛmˈbit͡sa] (German: 'Damnitz') is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Warnice, within Pyrzyce County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 2 kilometres (1 mi) west of Warnice, 15 km (9 mi) north of Pyrzyce, and 32 km (20 mi) south-east of the regional capital Szczecin.

The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles. For the history of the region, see History of Pomerania.
