Stare Boksze ([ˈstarɛ ˈbɔkʂɛ]; Lithuanian: Seni Bokšiai[3]) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Puńsk, within Sejny County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland, close to the border with Lithuania.

The name of the village comes from the surname of the Bokszewicz family, known in Lithuania since the first half of the 16th century.

At that time, the village, located on the south-western shore of Lake Sejwy Czarne (now Boksze), consisted of seven fibres and was inhabited by eight ploughmen equipped with half-fibres of land.

In addition, they received 2 fibres of land, from which they paid an annual rent of 2 kopecks of Lithuanian pennies.

The 1880 Geographical Dictionary of the Kingdom of Poland mentions two adjacent villages, Boksze Stare and Nowe.
