Gmina Ostrowice was a rural gmina (administrative district) in Drawsko County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland. Its seat was the village of Ostrowice, which lies approximately 17 kilometres (11 mi) north-east of Drawsko Pomorskie and 96 km (60 mi) east of the regional capital Szczecin.

The gmina covered an area of 150.42 square kilometres (58.1 sq mi), and as of 2006 its total population was 2,531.

The gmina contained part of the protected area called Drawsko Landscape Park. The gmina was divided between Gmina Drawsko Pomorskie and Gmina Złocieniec on January 1, 2019, because of bankruptcy, being the first municipality to do so in Poland.[1][2]
