Dębica [dɛmˈbʲit​͡sa] (Yiddish: דעמביץ-Dembitz) is a town in southeastern Poland with 46,693 inhabitants, as of 2 June 2009. It is the capital of Dębica County. Since 1999 it has been situated in the Subcarpathian Voivodeship; it had previously been in the Tarnów Voivodeship (1975–1998).

According to the 2006 data, Dębica's area is 33.81 square kilometres (13.05 sq mi). 42% is arable land, forested areas make 19%. Dębica is the seat of the county, and the town covers 4.34% of the county's area.

One of the oldest documented references to this area dates back to 1293, which records a settlement by the name of 'Dambicha'. In 1358 the Polish king Kazimierz Wielki gave Świętosław Gryfita permission to construct a town, and Dębica was officially founded. For many years it was a small and unimportant place, located in the Pilzno County, Sandomierz Voivodeship, province of Małopolska. Lacking fortifications that would defend it, Dębica was vulnerable to various invasions of the Tatars, Swedes, or Hungarians, who burnt or ransacked the town every few years. As a result of these events, there are few historical monuments in Dębica. One of these is the Saint Jadwiga church, originally from the 14th century, but completely rebuilt in late 19th century. Jewish settlers arrived in 1676–1690, expanding the town's population, and had a significant positive influence on the town's economy.
