Sanie [ˈsaɲe] (German: Seidorf; until 1936: Sayne) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Żmigród, within Trzebnica County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) south-east of Żmigród, 17 kilometres (11 mi) north-west of Trzebnica, and 35 kilometres (22 mi) north of the regional capital Wrocław.

Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles.
