Brzezie [ˈbʐɛʑɛ] (German: Briese) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Sulechów, within Zielona Góra County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland.[1] It is sometimes called Brzezie koło Pomorska ("Brzezie near Pomorsko") to distinguish it from another Brzezie in the district, Brzezie koło Sulechowa ("Brzezie near Sulechów").

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.
