Ligota is a village in Gmina Czechowice-Dziedzice, Bielsko County, Silesian Voivodeship, southern Poland.

The word refers to the medieval custom of village founders being exempt from paying duties to their lords for a period of 5–8 years.

[1][2] Politically the village belonged initially to the Duchy of Teschen, a fee of the Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of the Habsburg monarchy.

According to the censuses conducted in 1880, 1890, 1900 and 1910 the population of the municipality grew from 1651 in 1880 to 1791 in 1910 with a majority being native Polish-speakers (at least 94.1% in 1880, at most 99.4% in 1890) accompanied by a small German-speaking minority (at most 96 or 5.9% in 1880).

There are several landmarks in the village including Catholic Church of the Divine Providence from 1801 to 1806 and old dwór (manor house).
