Maślice (Polish pronunciation: [maɕˈlit͡sɛ], German: Masselwitz, [ˈmasəlvɪt͡s]) is a district in Wrocław located in the north-western part of the city.

The Oder River flows to the east of Maślice, with the Pilczycki Forest [pl] extending in that direction.

The earliest recorded name of the settlement is Maslec, derived from the Polish nickname Masło ('butter').

The name of the village was later phonetically Germanized to Masselwitz and lost its original meaning.

[3] The earliest record of the settlement of Maslec dates back to 1193, when it was part of medieval Piast-ruled Poland.
