Strzegom [ˈstʂɛɡɔm] (German: Striegau) is a town in Świdnica County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland. It is the seat of the Gmina Strzegom administrative district (gmina).

Strzegom is one of the oldest towns in Lower Silesia, with a settlement dating back to Antiquity. In the Middle Ages Strzegom became the seat of a castellan and a centre for clothmaking, linen-making and brewing, and since the early modern period it became known for granite mining, to which it owes the title of the "capital of Polish granite". The town has a number of precious heritage sites, most notably the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, one of the most outstanding examples of Gothic architecture in Poland, listed as a Historic Monument of Poland.
