Suszec [ˈsuʂɛt͡s] (German Sussetz) is a village in Pszczyna County, Silesian Voivodeship, in southern Poland.

It comes from the word "suchy" (dry), as 300 years ago the neighboring areas were covered with swamps and bogs, and only the village of Suszec was a place acceptable for living and working.

[4] The village was first mentioned in 1326 in the register of Peter's Pence payment among Catholic parishes of Oświęcim deaconry of the Diocese of Kraków as Susechz.

[5] During the political upheaval caused by Matthias Corvinus the land around Pszczyna was overtaken by Casimir II, Duke of Cieszyn, who sold it in 1517 to the Hungarian magnates of the Thurzó family, forming the Pless state country.

In January 1945, the so-called death marches from the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp in Oświęcim to the railroad station in Wodzisław Śląski passed through the village.
